Cancer Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Re: The Last Word Not from me. I go for almost non sequiturs, so the fragmentation is on the cognitive level, not the word level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Re: The Last Word A conversation with me is one long non sequitur. In person, anyway. Online, I tend to be a bit more lucid, for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: The Last Word Not a whole lot, no, unless I'm really sleep-deprived. Then I can't string together a sentence to save my life. Also, if I'm talking while I'm driving, I'll just drift off in the middle of my sentence, then pick it up again a minute later. I don't know how Josh puts up with it, but I guess he'd rather I did that than not paid attention to the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: The Last Word I have long pauses in my sentences often as well. My wife doesn't pause, but tends to need multiple tries to get the important noun (be it subject or object) out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Re: The Last Word That's what I do when I'm tired. I also gesture, as if the right word is somewhere in the air above my head and I can grab it if I wave my hands enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
