After a lot of googling, I conclude that guy probably has Aphasia.

<p>A friend sometimes speaks with incorrect word ordering. However, he writes English at a professional level. How could this be? His vocabulary is fine, just the word ordering is weird sometimes when he speaks. I always understand his meaning. He seems to not know that he is using incorrect word ordering. He speaks very slowly. His reading and listening appear fine.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2014-12-31)

A friend sometimes speaks with incorrect word ordering. However, he writes English at a professional level. How could this be? His vocabulary is fine, just the word ordering is weird sometimes when he speaks. I always understand his meaning. He seems to not know that he is using incorrect word ordering. He speaks very slowly. His reading and listening appear fine.

Have you noticed your own word ordering as well as your word decisions?

Better: *Sometimes, a friend says his words jumbled, seemingly out of place. Though I understand him, always, he seems to be unaware of how he speaks. As well, she speaks slowly.
Yet, this friend writes well. Also, he seems to listen well. What could cause his problem?*

Look up *Anosognosia* and *Aphasia*.
