Some buyers are strange.

Purchased: 9-27-21

Shipped: 9-28-21

Estimated delivery: 10-4-21

Buyer sends me a message that simply says "i hope tomorrow".

Does it seem like fewer and fewer people know how to speak in complete sentences now days.

Lol. Some people need to go to grammar school these days!

Hahaha, you ever watch this one SNL 80s skit (I know I always reference tv)? It was an “infomercial” or something teaching you how to free up hours of time in your day… by shortening all the words when you speak.

“It sounds cool and you’ll save tons of time versus saying the whole word.” I believe Kevin in the office tried to do that too, haha.

Most of my English as a Second Language contacts online, on eBay or at work, write in sentences. When I write in Swedish or Spanish, I write in sentences, even though it's not my first language, and even though I do not speak the language well and don't know a whole lot of words.

Yes, exactly-- it's the same with me and Japanese. Now, if I'm on Twitter then I'm probably not using complete sentences, but I don't think that really counts when the Japanese people I'm talking to aren't using complete sentences either!

YEP!   🙂

I pick up scrap from a plumber and he has one of those fancy cell phones you don't need to text but say your message and it will text out for me. At first it was hard to figure out some of them but once you get the hang of it and  add in his accent, I can usually figure them out now.  Some words sound the same but have different meanings depending how they are spelled out.  For example too can also be two, hear can also be here, etc.

Technology nowadays is amazing but I am still waiting for smellavision.  I am not sure if technology is always for the better though? like electric cars

People are used to texting. They don't want to take time to actually write anything.
