That's true, but that's not a licence to go crazy with things.
>Considering it's a vocal language,
As both natural and constructed languages are almost always intended to be
(in some form or another).
>it's safe to say that if it wasn't for how we write/type
>the words suffixes might be considered as separate words,
No. In all languages, words behave in certain key ways that make them
distinct from affixes. The past tense morpheme "-ed" in English, for
instance, can never appear on its own in a sentence. Therefore, it's not a
word. It can be part of a word, but never a whole, separate one.
