Vernacular writing is different from everyday writing because of the casualness of vernacular writing. It is what people say behind closed doors, and includes slang or vulgar language just depending on the person. It is based off a group of people and their understanding for each other. Yet everyday writing you can also use slang or whatever types of words but it is more for yourself. It is something that you personally need to write about. Vernacular writing relates to tombstones more than everyday writing does. On a grave it doesn’t tell a lot about a person except for a few words that represent them. These words can be interpreted by the people who knew that person. This makes each gravestone unique because it is based on personality. The other good thing is that you don’t know a persons life story based on their gravestone but you can get a pretty good idea of who they were based on the inscription. This is a deeper meaning on it. Instead of having everyday writing on it, which would be more like a general every day type of thing. People would rather be remembered by one word or moment and remember the good times, then have a whole life story posted on there. Plus the people that care about you will care about visiting you, so it wouldn’t even matter what was on your gravestone.
