Oh, and I forgot to add, based on the definition of "orality" quoted
by C. G. Estabrook, I'm not even sure it is positioned contra the
written word. Conversation, gossip, and the ephemeral have dominated
most people's forays into writing, as it has dominated all forms of
communication. We just don't see a lot of it from the past because...
well, it's ephemeral.  But C. G. positioned "orality" contra the
written, so I went with it.
