So ehh, does it annoy you when eh uh for example..... when ehh people you know use sort of oral language kind of like uhh you know..... uh when they're in forums and stuff you know?

Because uhh as we all know ehm, uh hold on just need to check my phone real quick hold on.....

Ok well uhh I was going to say that uhh when people come to forums and eh use you know the language you use in the daily life and stuff you know.... they never really ehh get to the point right? just ehh circulating the conversation & uhh changing topic while uhh... forgot what I was going to say but anyway. Oral language is uhh very annoying to me in uhh forums and stuff you know?

So ehh? HBU? what do you feel about uh this type of oral speech on uhh forums & stuff eh?

Mr. Mackey, is that you?

I don't mind it, so long as it isn't used in excess.

"ehh" annoys the fuck out of me.
just fucking say what you're going to say, i don't care if you disagree and you don't want to step on anyone's toes, why say "ehh".
literal passive aggressive bs.

Oh maybe, maybe it's the clothes we wear
The tasteless bracelets and the dye in our hair
Or maybe, maybe it's our nowhere towns or our nothing places
But we're trash, you and me
We're the litter on the breeze
We're the lovers on the streets
Just trash, me and you
It's in everything we do
It's in everything we do

Uh... No, that's not true. Using "uh" and "eh" doesn't mean that you are just "circulating the conversation" or that you can't get to the point. Usually when people use those words, they are doing it to express uncertainty or confusion or disbelief in an informal manner.


What's the difference?

Hey, I love my ughs, erms and ehs >8C
I use them to refer to my emotional sighs, like "UGHHHH OUSAMA GAME IS LIT" (don't worry, it's not lit).
Tho true, I don't see the point of using them in forums TOO much. You can take your time to plan and write a comprehensive message, it's not an oral convo where you make pauses to formulate a thought further and have to fill them up with something.

Some Writing Styles may come off as odd, considering that a written Text is supposed to be written in written Language as opposed to using oral Language.

However, Forums are a much more casual Literary Genre compared to writing an Article or even a Book. As such, there are more stylistic Devices like Smileys or certain Abbreviations such as "lol", "b2t" or "imho" you can use that you cannot do so in an Essay.

I am fine with every Writing Style for as long as it can be understood. But then again, whenever I see someone use the "Thought Snippets"-Style indicated by three consecutive Dots, I do wonder whether or not the respective User can phrase a formal Text.

I'm a big fan of the occasional "hmmm..." to preface my comments as a sign that I actually gave the topic a few minute's thought before rushing to smash my face into the keyboard.

It's my first time seeing one. And it's from your thread, OP.
I guess.. it's hard to understand..?

Don't know why it would be annoying, unless it's from a bad shitpost or used in excess.

Millenials have done a bang up job of creating an alright mirror of the spoken word to written.

When people use "uh" or any kind of slang in text I don't mind it; in fact I think it shows a touch of genuine, written off the top of the head kind of thought oftentimes which is good for bridging gaps created by not actually being face to face.

Emojis kindof do the same thing but I find those are more for barbarians younger people. :p

Well I'm not writing a formal essay when I'm chatting with friends on discord am I?

Some people simply enjoy putting their casual speech habits into typed words where the subject matter is just as casual.

It's just putting yourself into your writing, so I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. If it's annoying or not here then I don't see why it shouldn't be the same IRL.
