Why?
it's annoying and I don't understand it
Anytime you'd breathe when speaking, put a .
It's not 100% correct but it's better than what you're doing and easy to implement.
Would it be some type of dyslexia? Do you have issues recognizing the relation between punctuation and the rhythm of speech?
no I just don't speak the same as others people tell me that where you breathe nonsense but one what's a breath and what's a half breath and two I don't always breathe when I should I just keep talking until I lose breath and get high pitched I just gave up years ago and most people don't care I just get 1 person every few months that has to come along and insist on punctuation and pretend it can't be read even though it's perfectly legible
I have the perfect mental image of this guy spouting these intensely opinionated run on sentences until he starts to run out of breath, and his face starts to redden and his voice starts getting higher and higher like a cartoon chipmunk about to burst… and just when I’m about to ask him if he’s okay he pauses to take this ENORMOUS RASPING BREATH 🤣
yeah pretty much
You might struggle with theory of mind
no I don't I just know that I can read it when others do the same punctuation is pointless and shouldn't exist and the only thing it contributes to the world is misery through children being told off by teachers when they're trying their best and are already struggling to do the damn literacy lesson cause they want you to write two pages of inane nonsense when all you have is like half a paragraph then even if you did what they ask they moan at you for oh needs commas and full stops I hate punctuation
Lol who hurt you dude? Damn, never seen such vitriol over basic ass communication. It would make you more coherent and prevent people having to reread to interpret your stuff, but whatever. Obviously you are beyond the point of convincing, it's just wild to see someone hate something so basic.
I understand your struggle, but I really think working on it will improve things for you, it's not just to annoy you. I also understand it sucks to hear everyone telling you the same thing and getting downvoted for expressing yourself. But this may also happen at work later and have worse consequences for your career, so I really think you should get over your anger and work on it. Maybe try to find a specialist that may understand where you come from and help you adapt.
It's definitely not legible, dude
