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.
