I have a habit of beginning nearly any other thing with ‘So’.

      I know a couple people who do this and their texts always seem far more dramatic and loaded than they mean.

      "Hey, thanks for doing x” - me

      " You’re welcome…" - them

      Uh oh - me internally.

      Oh my god, yes.

      I’ve even talked with people who’re like;

      This…is an example sentence…just to tell you…something.

      Usually you see that with older people not used to texting or someone who’s first language is not english. But you see so many of that, it makes you wonder. I think they’re trying to make it look like they’re processing their thoughts as they’re typing?

      I don’t expect people to be Charles Dickens here, but jesus, I’d rather someone take their time getting a thought out than for me to see a poorly written draft of it.
