I think that when it comes to speaking, people say all sorts of things that don’t really make sense if you analyze them. Fallacies really bring those nonsensical things to light when you compare your claim to the different types of fallacies.
I think I really notice when people from other countries ask about sayings or things that I say without really thinking about their meaning. Lots of sayings don't actually make sense, but they are ingrained in the way we think. However, when we write or give a speech, we are not doing so in the way that we speak casually. I think that this understanding of the words we are saying really helps in making correct statements and claims in arguments.
I could make all sorts of crazy claims but they could easily shot down by reasonable fallacies. When using reason you can think more clearly to get your point across. It’s a lot like what lawyers and news writers do. You have to stick to facts that are clearly stated to win people over to your side.
