Quizzical, I have both speeds. When I am typing (like on here) I have already got a thousand thoughts and comments whizzing through my brain that have occurred while reading other people’s posts and I have to try and get them written down before they disappear into the ether. But speaking in response to a conversation that I haven’t had time to process will get me the circuitous thought processes every time! I think that the added pressure of knowing there is someone waiting on my reply just makes it all the worse. On a forum, or writing an email, it leaves the time for reply much more open ended. Nobody even knows I have started to “talk” until my complete post/email is sent, so the pressure is not on to say something within a set time frame. But I hate the chat feature on things, because that’s immediate, and very interrupting!! Nothing like trying to reply to a post and having a chat box pop up and interrupt my train of thought 👿
Interestingly enough, I don’t tend to pick up my own spoken errors, but will zero in on anyone else’s as if they’re highlighted in fluorescent green!! I am slowly learning that people don’t appreciate me correcting them each and every time they blunder 😉 Especially my hubby 🙄
