Right??? My texts and DMs are a flurry of sentence fragments. Reads like I talk though which is fun if you know how I talk.

People get pissed because I text this way. This is how I talk, I wouldn't be reciting paragraphs at your face, why am I supposed to do it via text?

This is why I have trouble reading books. My mind just looks at a bunch of fragments, starts skipping around and gets bored.

i read by skimming paragraphs.

i mean most stories follow similar patterns and differences are mostly in the colorful metaphors that surround the verb. if the next sentence does not make sense then I'll back up and give a more thorough glance and gather the context.

I'm told I text exactly how I talk all the time. People always commenting on the extra spaces and letter that I use to just make it more fun

This is why I'm getting the new Blackberry KeyONE. Autocorrect took away the voice so to speak in my text. Back during the days of qwerty phones, I would right more like I speak instead of all formal.

I text the same way. Just straight flow on consciousness, I think it's really entertaining.

But sometimes a lot of what I say is lost in translation because of it. Written and spoken language are definitely two different things
