why do some People , type like this

[-] noobdoomguy8658@feddit.de 56 points 1 year ago

Often a courtesy of mobile keyboards.

That, or if they're like me, the person is just very tired. If I am extremely tired, I basically just hit shift on every word and don't care about it. In such cases, I might fix my posts and comments in the morning, or even delete them if they feel too much like "what the fuck did I write there".
Another key to identify those is double words.
Example: I Only Started Started Using Computers When When I Was 14.

I type on a mobile keyboard. Have for over a decade. I’ve never typed like this.

I was wondering why my mind automatically tried to read this as poetry

None of your replies even address the weird spaces before commas thing. I've directly asked people on Reddit and the answer is always idk if they even reply at all.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenken

In German, the practice of inserting a space before punctuation marks is called Plenken. It used to be a common practice, but nowadays it is considered an error.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I see this more often from people for whom English is a second language. Maybe that’s the case here?

[-] lukini@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

It might be, but they can never explain why. Is there some other language that does this? I don't know of one.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Auto insertion of space in mobile keyboards. Usually they also remove the preceding space when you press enter, but if somebody manually presses space after an automatic insertion of space then you get double spaces and only one will be removed

They never paid attention in schoo.l

[-] Pfnic@feddit.ch 5 points 1 year ago

It might come from languages like German where nouns are capitalized. Even in English proper nouns are capitalized so I don't see why that bothers you so much

[-] randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz 13 points 1 year ago

I don't think the All, Refuse, See, No, and Never in that screenshot are nouns. They also didn't capitalize microwave.

[-] Pfnic@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago

Fair enough. They might just use autocorrect wrong, idk

[-] Cannacheques@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 year ago

My biggest gripe about the Chinese keyboards

[-] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Personally I typically type like that (and like this) due to typing like I speak

Stilted with many gaps

Sometimes with a lot of parentheses due to the scatter shot nature of my brain

But that's a conversation for another time

[-] Zoop@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I see people use commas as pauses where commas definitely aren't supposed to go and that make no sense whatsoever (to me, anyway, but I know not everyone has the same education, resources, etc.) all the time. I think that's part of what's going on here.

It sounds like our brains work very similarly, fellow random-parentheses-using scatterbrain! I'm both glad I'm not alone and also sad that you experience this frustrating shit, too, haha. I feel for you.

I much prefer the way you break up your thoughts, by the way. It flows better, makes more sense, and reads in my head voice more like it would if you were speaking (to me, anyway!)

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Okay there, Kerouac.

[-] PM_ME_FAT_ENBIES@lib.lgbt 1 points 1 year ago

So your speaking voice is grating, and you type the same way on purpose? Why? Just to mentally exhaust everyone around you? Is this a BDSM thing?

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Carrot commas.

~~because Some words are more, important than Others.~~

Honestly, I have no idea.
