This may be a bit weird, an experiment related to how people text. Can you pretend to text this message to a friend but like, how different people would say it?

[u/ThatGuyNoah8]

Basically I wanna see how different people talk. Some are formal, others text with abreviations like including 2 instead of to and stuff, some people use certain words to describe stuff, some people use tons of internet slang, and a lot of people are a combination. The message pretending to be sent to a friend is: Do you want to see the nice t shirt I decorated? I ended up with three burns from the glue gun lol.

Got inspo for the experiment from an irl experience and texted this to a friend, but how would you text it to a friend? If u want it would be helpful for research purposes if you want to say your gender and age and like, if you’re goth/scene/grunge and stuff.

Female, 40.

I’d do this:

I decorated this shirt!  <insert photo of said shirt> 

But I burned my fingers in the process 😭😭

Who, me? text? tried once 20 years ago and haven't done it since. Nothing written without a full size keyboard. Writing is hard enough without handicapping myself worse.

I am very formal in the way I write. I try to moderate for tone with my audience in mind, but I think I might still sound like a snob/AI. I am just very into words; how they're formed, how they sound together, and their subtle meanings.

I'm in my 40s, I was a goth about 25 years ago. I'm now just a super casual old person. Think, "Eccentric old lady, but one that may also like to golf."

What I would text: "I finally have gotten around to making that shirt I was telling you about. Needless to say, I wasn't able to get through doing so without burning myself on the hot glue."

'guess who burned her fingers in an attempt to make a shirt look better lol

it didn't even turn out too bad tho'

glue gun tried to kill me

That one’s funny

[u/FondantLong4534]

Mine would end up being three separate texts(my poor friend has to put up with me like this):

So I made this shirt.

But I got burned three times.

I think the glue gun was out to get me.
