If you can understand these people consistently, you must be very smart. And, if they understand you, they probably don't belong at McD's.

However, my co-worker who grew up in Viet Nam cannot understand any of that word-transmogrified paragraph.

To write it the way I usually see it written, it "effects" his mind in the wrong way. That is, his mind isn't operating good today; despite the fact that he feels well. (I'm not sure what he is so good at feeling, but if he feels it well, who am I to complain?)

Well. Well. Well. That sounds good to me.

Wow, I'm a teenager, and I have no idea what the hell that means.
When my friends and I text, we generally use real words. Plus enough typos that it's still readable by the other person. And it helps if the other person knows you well enough to decipher shorthand "will leave after playing if not after 7:30. If close, i'll see" (my friend was able to understand something a lot worse than that just because he knew how my mind worked)

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?
