In my experience, those who like to rant and rave about the "stark" differences ("that must--for the love of god!--be maintained at all costs") between listening and reading (RE books) are more concerned with semantics, tradition and nostalgia than they are with literacy or literature.

How would it be a complete wash?

On the one hand, you are constantly practicing with interperting the written word, the syntax, the structure, the spelling, the differences between two, to, and too and so on, on the other hand, you are not.


You think that would come out to a complete wash? As in perfectly even? 50/50?

Let me guess. You like audiobooks.
