Hey. If I were more 'into' verbal speech, I'd sound like how I write. Whereas, many others write like how they speak. In other words, I sound like my writings when I speak and 'they' write like how they'd sound. My writings compared to their writings are VERY different. Because my speaking doesn't sound like 'their' talking, efforts are expended towards 'edging' me out of their conversations. Being edged out the countless times that I have, it would appear that I'd have even less motivation for verbalizing and more motivation for becoming a 'good typer'.
But...I think if I were to find 'conversationalists' who were able and willing to verbalize with me in the ways I need/want (who understand there 'should be' more than what appears to be only one way to hold a verbal conversation), maybe I wouldn't have developed in the way I have with 'written' communications (including being a reasonably good typist...). Then I could be a lousy typer, too. Ha! What y'all think?
