Vladimir Nabokov, accounting for his notoriously poor verbal habits once said,

At parties, if I attempt to entertain people with a good story, I have to go back to every other sentence for oral erasures and inserts. Even the dream I describe to my wife across the breakfast table is only a first draft. I think like a genius, I write like a distinguished author, and I speak like a child.
