Still reads awfully. I actually can't imagine somebody saying a sentence like that without getting frustrated at my brain's output.

Really? Because people talk like that all the time.

I'm pretty sure that only works when the phrase is a bit shorter than "Punctuated. For. Emphasis. All. The. Time. And. Beer. And. Liquor." I'm certain that some sentences just don't work with the trope at all.
Heh, I had a Co worker at a bar I used to work at who legitimately talked like that all the time (after suffering his stroke forming sentences became hard for him) I didn't make the connection until you just spelt it out.
He was actually a terrible bar man, but there was plenty of other work in the building for him to do and I know that the higher ups had no issue with him working.
Not that this is relevant.
Everybody's dead, Dave.
It's relevant to my attention span. (;

The trick is to just ignore the periods.

Phone calls do seem pretty formal compared to texting.

In my opinion, voice-based phone calls being a primary method of communication are The Artifact of our society.
she her hers hOI!!! i'm tempe
I can do phone calls but I really really prefer texting. Talking on the phone makes me feel awkward when I'm not at work.
Disagree. To me, texting is strictly for short conversations or for sending links. For any conversation that would take more than a few texts to convey, speech is superior.
I'm reminded of a quote from Ax, lampshading the fact that we invented Internet chat rooms after the telephone.

For me, the factor would be urgency of reply rather than length. Like if I need to know immediately that you got my message, I will make a call rather than send a text.
But I generally tend to prefer text. I have a tendency to mishear things, and have to ask people to repeat themselves. Sometimes multiple times.

I much prefer texts to phone calls. Phone calls are for your parents and serious business, texts are for general chatting.

Hi
I also much prefer texting to calling, but if I can use my Bluetooth and not tie a hand to my head with holding the phone, it's a lot better.
I personally prefer calling over texting. I prefer IMing and email over both of those. Something about the frequencies involved in phone calls makes it difficult for me to follow people, my fingers aren't agile enough to quickly navigate cell phone keyboards, and it drives me into a mild rage when I get 5 buzzing texts in as many seconds because people can't be arsed to use periods.

If you're still using old flip-phones or something, then yeah, texting sucks. But with the finger-swipe drawing, texting becomes super-easy.

I'm just uncomfortable using my voice to communicate unless I'm physically in the same space. Even video chat limits my perception of how well I can get my thoughts across in real time.

I really prefer texting over phone calls, mostly because I hate phone calls and talking. Texts allow me to compose my thoughts a lot better.
Trust you? The only person I can trust is myself.
I have a bit of a stutter, especially when I speak quickly. So I prefer textual communication too.
It also means you can't tell when I take long pauses to collect my thoughts, which is how I avoid stuttering.
I remember it, I just don't take it to heart that much. I definitely form biases against fictional characters if they remind me of a bad time or person in my life, but Brun's introduction didn't really hit any of that for me.
It might just be QC though. I'm pretty mellow about QC in general, and also I just kinda read out of habit now so nothing really gets me. Still, gonna stand by "it's not that big of a deal".
