Yeah maybe it's a 2x2 with playground (yes no) books (yes no). Absence of either is noticeable to people who are natural/well-versed in them. (Playground skills for me developed late; like a second language, but I was never Terrible like some dudes I've known)

I don’t think it’s that straightforward. It’s not conditioning experiences as much as neurotype. I think comfort with imperative tone is more genetic. And non-imperative/non-instrumental speech does not mean you necessarily talk like a book.

There's a concept in the psychology of high-demand religious groups called 'promiscuous disclosure' (sim concept mentioned in The Gift of Fear) where broadcasting too much of a very specific type of information is used as a way to quickly accumulate social capital

Yeah, this doesn't match my experience at all. It feels like it's conflating geek-speak with class-based sociolects, and I doubt those are the same. Also probably less crossover between vocal/written thought modes than we assume, e.g. strengths in L1 vs. L2.
