I've noticed. That's all over the net too. I'm wondering if that's from those who's first language isn't English or they just type exactly the string of words that pop out of their brain in whatever order it is and don't bother to check the sentence they've output. I'll grant that anybody can make typos.

@froggtongue It's certainly more than just typos - incoherent sentences, sentences that don't flow - either with themselves or with what was just said, responses that come across as autistic on many different levels due to missing nuances in what was said, things inappropriate for the sort of emotional context that was being set and more.

@Aami1 Yet in many instances in which I find myself perplexed by what the writer is trying to convey, I often see someone else respond with seemingly knowing what the conversation is about. Is there some other phenomenon going on? Perhaps a shorthand of thought expression or an economy of word/letter usage? Might the participants even not know what the other is really saying and is just putting out their own thoughts?

I think the problem is that this isn't really meant to be a "flowing chat" type site. Its meant to be a "leave a comment and come back in an hour to reply". Real chat needs to move to Signal/WhatsApp/Whatever the kids are using these days.

This site is kind of tough for that anyways. It really depends on the type of conversation you're looking for.

Well, that's because it's difficult to write exactly the way you would talk.
