      Now I imagine them just writing an incoherent string of words. “Tomato car house fireman oven duck garden rice…”

        Isn’t that a classic too? As in your mouth runs off and your brain trails behind. Later you ask yourself wtf you just said. I hate when that happens, especially during job interviews.

      Interesting what kind of distinction do you draw between speech and words? 🤔

        FiskFisk33 already answered it. It’s about speaking vs. writing/ using language.

        On a serious note (and thereby killing the joke completely): doesn’t everyone know the situation where you can’t get the word out that may be very well in your head?
