Do you leave out words in sentences without noticing

Post Reply New Topic

Both of your comments made me laugh, and I was going to comment, but then I thought "what if it wasn't actually intentional and I just laugh at their mistake?" I decided to play it safe and say nothing. But now that it's out...

Tend to miss out personal descriptive words like I, me and my when talking about oneself, it's almost become a compulsion. Also accidenyallymiss words out of conversation a lot.

Pretty much guilty on all counts here. Not so much speaking, I at least don't notice myself doing it if I do, but I'm really bad at doing it while writing online.

^^:lol:

Ive had someone ask me that before, because of this.

I frequently seem to get lost in what I am saying and need to stop, re-group and continue again.
It can be really embarrassing at times.

I have problems finishing my sentences and finding words when I talk. My daughter got in the habit of trying to finish my sentences for me when she was really little. It annoys me a lot, but she is only trying to help. The problem is that she never gets the missing words right!

Well, I HAVE had this happen more than I would care to admit, though it isn't common, and I usually correct myself quickly.

This is something that runs in my family. We often forget words or names and replace them with a variant of "thing".

When people outside the family are present at a family gathering they have a very difficult time understanding what we're talking about.

i sometimes leave out every word in every sentence of every paragraph that i want to say.

people have a hard time understanding me if i say nothing.

it does not matter because at least i understand what i failed to say and that is enough for me.

Sometimes.

I don't leave words out, but sometimes I do have trouble putting my thoughts together into words.

OMG, I do this all the dang time!

Not only do I miss several (ironically key) words when I speak or type, but I spell words backwards without realizing it at first, and even miss entire paragraphs that I had planned in my mind. One time when I had to write vocabulary words for a class several years ago, I wrote all the words backwards without realizing it. Not only that, but when I had to write sentences, I didn't write any articles (ie 'the') and it looked like a dyslexic russian wrote it.

I'm just glad that spelling isn't a requirement in my AP World History classes.
