There are many speech styles, one can develop various of it's qualities, grammars parts & forms as one needs.
My speech is written or told in casual (not too formal but elegant, based on cause & effect law called 'karma' in Buddhism), international english language can be summarized as:
- Abstract (generalized & on topic, as seen from above, from bird's flight),
- Essentional (minimal amount of words, but not too few - that summarize what i wish to say. It skips details, and follows plan of speech resulting from analysis),
- Careful (great care & attempt at perfection is given to a precision & tools of achieving the precision of speech),
- Lyrical (my speech uses poetic metaphors to say more in less words, more beautifully as well, evoking feelings - mostly beneficial),
- Terse (using least amount of symbols, yet with the precise meaning).
i also have Polish written & spoken language, but i think mostly in international english way - i am a transliterate, for i spent great deal of my life with the internet, enligh words & international communities. My thinking in Polish language shares it's qualities with my english written speech, but is not so much developed.
When write about other people's words, i try to always clearly state where it is a precise quote, when it's paraphrase (transforming words to speak using one's words, often giving it another meaning), or translation attempt (translation is often imprecise with carrying exact meanings as different nations, cultures & people think & feel differently on the same words).
i think that communicating in the Internet or using other international means is a great challenge - because of high risk of being misunderstood if one is not careful).
i think that 'authoring' - transforming someone's words then claiming that someone else is author of these is seen too often, not only in the internet. i think this can be done if author agrees to use his name under transformed words, but without such permission it is often too a harmful manipulation.
