I'm far too verbose all the time.
I don't even want to read everything I write most of the time.
I don't even reed the things I wirte smoetimes.
I never read the tings I write ... I already know whats written there ....
I'm forced to because I make the most ridiculous spelling mistakes that completely change the comment.
"With" autocorrects to "without".
"is" autocorrects to "isn't"
Finally worked out why though - my right eye is impaired and I type exclusively with my right thumb (on mobile) so I'm not actually pressing the keys I think I am and I'm often hitting the "predict word" button instead of the space bar.
Looking forward to getting tactile keys on phones again!
My job somehow shifted from teaching IT to seniors to teaching SOSE to migrants
It has simultaneously been the most challenging, and most rewarding change.
I'm forced to edit myself down from my preferred 5000 word lecture to about 150 words with clip art.
It's slowly helping me become less of a rambler.
Except for the "post restraint collapse", I get home and I can't hold it in anymore, cue the explosive verbal diarrhoea.
At work, fewer words are better.
But in my own personal life I feel that the fewer words I employ to convey the way I feel the less nuance I'm embedding in my message and what is communication if not the conveyance of the core message, failing to express myself clearly would be counter-productive so surely explaining in more detail is beneficial, hello? Are you still listening? Why have your eyes glazed over.
