Well?


A lot of people I talk to do the one quick text at a time thing. I generally always finish my thought.

I used generally because sometimes you'll be in a conversation with someone where all you're doing is texting (at which point you might as well be on the phone). That was the reason for the caveat. The question is just which style you use most often.

E: oh doh at work and not really processing information - I see what you're pointing out. I generally always enjoy inconsistent adjectives

I very rarely send more than two texts back-to-back. I always try to cram everything into one, but sometimes I forget a detail or two and send another text to append that.

I get annoyed when

I get text notifications

Every few seconds from

Someone who doesn't know how to end a goddamn sentence.

If we are actively texting back and forth then it's a few words at a time

if not, I'd write it all out

Yep, this is the way to do it

If we're rapid fire texting we usually just transition to a phone call, but sometimes one or the other person can't

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I text in paragraphs. I don't think SMS is reliable enough to act like it's IM

I mean
Yeah
This is basically
How I message (in messenger at least)

But in actual sms texting I usually use more complete thoughts to not send multiple texts

This but never more than three or four.
I knew a guy who'd legit send me 10-15 messages and I wanted to throttle him, so I swore not to do that

Depends. Usually I'll just fit whatever I need to say in one text.

But I will do multiple texts if it's more of a rapid fire discussion. Usually about a new game or movie

stream-of-consciousness, but maybe a sentence per message?

i.e. if i get a vacation photodump, i might send

> wow, nice pics
> did you take them yourselves?
> how was the trip overall?

if i'm making a request or delivering information, then i try to compose more deliberate messages

> hey, are you free the 30? we're thinking of doing a halloween get-together at union bar around 8 pm - +1s are welcome!

yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness

Yeah, this is absolutely infuriating. And then people complain about 'wall of text' but it's like how short an attention span do you need to have to not be able to focus on a couple of sentences
