I type how I speak, and my speech is shocking, but that's how it is. I do say coz, and innit and ifn  and stuff. I do say yep, and nup and sittin' and oh hey.

 

After nearly 20 years living out west my  speech pattern isn't that dissimilar to lobs. My family find it amusing when OH and I visit, and invite their mates around just to listen to OH talk in his home town vernacular. He says munger (ear) doughy (slow) moonay (don't ask, it's not a good word) ol' mate (anyone from the bloke next door to the shop owner down the street, or the news reader on the radio)

 

If I wish, I can slow down, think about what I am trying to communicate, and structure my sentences reasonably well. (It is getting harder with each passing year) But mostly I don't bother, because what you see is what you get.


 

You have just almost perfectly demonstrated that you do not in fact write/type the same way you speak. Cat Very Happy

A writer may be aware that the voice of the narration should be consistent with the character’s cultural, social, educational and regional background.The voice in writing portrays those things to a reader.


Yeah. Get's weird when they switch registers paragraph by paragraph though. 

 

When a writer does that It takes away from the authentic voice they are attempting to portray.

 

I think if a writer wants to portray a certain character then they need to use a consistent register.
