OT: Do you recite or type your posts?
Do you recite or type your posts? Most likely if you recite your post, it is done in combination with typing?
Where is this headed and what does it portend? I like reciting my posts if I speak clearly, but until I can edit the mistakes easier, reciting is going to have limitations.
For the first time in my life I feel like some sort of low grade thespian, but I get a a cheap thrill out of people looking at me funny when I am talking to my phone and bellow out words like; "Semi Colon", "Comma", Question Mark", "Period", "EXCLAMATION POINT".
Trust me, if you say out loud in public, "I love you baby... exclamation point", you will get some snickers.
If anybody has insights on this technology, I would love to hear them EXCLAMATION POINT
I also ask myself, does this post positively add something to a users viewing experience? You try my way, I'll try yours.
EDIT: did you write a segment called 'Deep Thoughts' on SNL?
“Contrary to what most people say, the most dangerous animal in the world is not the lion or the tiger or even the elephant. It's a shark riding on an elephant's back, just trampling and eating everything they see.”

When you die, if you have a choice between regular heaven and pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but it it's not, mmmmm boy.
Fuzzy Memories... good times bro.
I would recommend the format that gives you the most cause to stop and consider the question, "is this worth posting?"
"EXCLAMATION POINT" at the end?
from the mobile app, so I'm usually posting from a PC 99% of the time. never tried the recited method.

I don't know what is. +1000 until there cannot be another M sporting event in 2012-2013 (6/26).
Good call.
This has been fascinating, and I was only about a half a dozen posts into this thing.
"Recite" = "Dictate"? Did something happen to the word "dictate" druing my all-too-long adulthood?
We should dedicate the 30th of every month to a thread featuring Jack Handey quotes. In honor of this thread. We'd learn some respect for February that way.
Do you walk to school or do you carry your lunch?
Need more background.
So there is a population of people out there dictating their mgoposts into their phone?
Do people often dictate text into their phone?
Pretty much the only voice function I use is to tell Siri to remind me of something at X time.
Beyond whether you read or typed your post, did you THINK about it first?
Most of the time one of the girls from the typing pool just writes them for me based on a standard template. However for the ones on sensitive issues they come in and I dictate them.
Did you actually say, "Horizontal smiley face !!"
How did it not end up "PS I recited this horizontal smiley face."?
You're drunk Gordie, go home.

I usually just throw a handful of birdseed at my keyboard, and let a flock of pigeons peck away at the keyboard, until a well thought out post appears.
Sometimes when I want to really sleep soundly, I'll walk through my neighbor's garden to get to the butcher's shop which is usually closed at that time of night, so I went to the laundromat and there met the girl of my dreams. Sometimes.
I don't post.
You don't want to know how I get the "EXCLAMATION POINT"
Boxers or briefs? Great taste or less filling? Recitation or typing?
Age old debates that will never have a satisfactory answer.
Briefs. Neither. This is dumb.
BOOM, debates are over.
Sideways?
I use the Schrute/Mussolini method
The things you learn on the board these days. I had no idea that I could save those 30-45 seconds wasted typing my words (like I am now) and instead RECITE these pearls of wisdom into my phone instead.
Now, given that anytime I use the voice feature on my phone the command "call Gordie" would be stated back "did you say order french fries?" then I'm sure my first attempt at reciting a post would resemble something posted by BRCE on a bad day.
Zendaya's???
Before posting, always ask yourself-- What would Gordie do?
