well back in the day before texting people actually talked

a normal conversation would look like this

sender: "first sentence, second sentence, third sentence, fourth sentence"

the receiver would give about 5 or 6 basic ideas directly to what the sender said

then the receiver would say about 4 sentences

the original sender would listen

and reply with 5 or 6 direct ideas to what the receiver would say and add about 5 sentences

you would keep talking until you found out the info

sender: "first sentence, second sentence, third sentence, fourth sentence"

receiver: 5 short direct points, directly to what the sender said, 4 sentences on there own

sender: 5 short direct point to what receiver JUST said and another 4 sentences

receiver: 5 short direct points, directly to what the sender said, 4 sentences on there own

sender: 5 short direct point to what receiver JUST said and another 4 sentences

receiver: 5 short direct points, directly to what the sender said, 4 sentences on there own

sender: 5 short direct point to what receiver JUST said and another 4 sentences

it's called holding a conversation

since texting got so big

to speak to another human you basically have to IM

instant message

if you say more than 5 words

they forgot the first word you said and forget everything you said

so 5 words or less

and that's the entire conversation

humans speak in im because they no longer have the brain capacity to actually hold a conversation
