Do you type like you talk?

I try not to type like I talk but I am finding when I am here telling a story I type like I talk.

No I don't. For one when I type I use LOL a lot.........maybe too much? LOL I'm a voracious reader and I write all the time, so my typing style is very different from my speaking style. People prefer that I 'write/type' to them though because apparently I'm funnier when I type than when I speak! ROFL

No, not all the time. For example, around my husband I may talk a little slang-ish at times, but I'm usually just joking around with him. But with most other people I talk like I type. I'm not really into talking slang. I prefer to speak proper English, American style.

Yup i also do the same thing..i type as if i talk to someone in english and the thing is that i type in the same speed as i talk to people..sometimes in replying i do make mistakes and during speaking i do have the loss of words and that makes me ashamed since i feel that i'm not that good in this language and even though english is my secondary language i'm best in english more than Tamil which is of course my mother tongue..In mylot i have not used words that i use in my day to day life since they would cut the post stating the guideline violation...

Hey reiny! I sometimes type the way I talk, but it does depend on who I am talking to! If I am talking to someone on an IM then I will use slang and text. If I am typing in an email I might do the same. If I am typing here I sometimes will be just a little bit more formal then if I was talking. I will type out more of the words then I would speak. Kind of like you described. Every once in awhile I will forget where I am and the shorter and slang version might come through though and I will type like I speak on here too!

Yes I like to talk about to anyone who will listen.I have had long converations with people at bus stops they say all about their kids,where they go to school what food they like and if they are bedwetters as I am a mature mum {fifty one} with the youngest just fifteen.I love it giving support to mums or dads and telling them it won't last forever if they are having a particular problem with their kids.My friend seek me out to help them,sometimes pointing them in the right direction normally to the doctors and let them know they are not failing ,everybody has these problems with kids at some time or another and not to worry.Like they say you have been through it all and you managed so well,but I tell them I had to suffer to and it is not easy but you do come through it.Then I meet old people who like to talk about their husbands operation and they are going to see them in hospital ect about their dogs and pets.Sometimes there is a teenager there and they talk about their boyfriends or what ever.Most people like a chat and it passes the time. I had a good chat with a check out woman the other day and she told me she had started a new life without her miserable exhusband and was having good time and enjoying life now.I tend to be the same with who ever I talk to and I must have a label saying talk to me on my forhead but not minding at all like I say it makes the journey go quicker and like they say talk to a stranger and get someone else's view.As for slang I suppose we do it is an intergral part of our language.Thanks for letting me talk I have enjoyed it.

im like that, i type like i talk but to few people i know,to some networking sites that i was being known by my social networking friends and to my frieds via text message or email..lol... but i can talk that formal depends to the people i am having a conversation with... happy mylotting!

Most of the time I type like I talk. I love answering good discussions on here as I just type exactly how I am thinking inside. If I am answering an important or buisness email. I try to be a little more polite and choose better words and things in my sentences.
