I'd like to buy a vowel

I'm not a fan of the TV game show "Wheel of Fortune". I've tried to watch it, but the contestants usually out guess me and the phrases I guess right, the contestants can never seem to get.

However, I could see watching this show being a good exercise for writers. You really have to think about letters and words and common phrases.

As writers, we often spend time thinking about the right perfect words or phrases and often break the rules of grammar to do so. After all, whom really speaks perfect grammar when they talk - if you know someone that does speak that way; don't they sound odd?

Writing the way people think and talk flows better out of my head and onto paper than having to stop and think if my writing fits the rules of grammar.
