Quote:
It is important to emphasise that command of the spoken language is not a form of 'incorrect' or 'less precise' form of the written language; it is a linguistic skill that fulfils certain particular aims and requirements, which follows its own rules and has its own inner logic.

I agree with that, but I'm sure I don't agree with the conclusion you intend to draw from it.
