When people use the word "talk" in place of "type."

| I suppose a better word, such as 'communicate', would be better, but 'type' isn't really proper either. I don't type to you; I communicate with you over the internet. |

That would be even more awkward. i.e. a post like this: Why Do People Get Frustrated When People Communicate Like This When this would be better: Why Do People Get Frustrated When People Type Like This

I was talking about in a direct address situation. (See? I said 'talking' instead of 'typing'. I also said 'said' instead of 'typed', because it is smoother to read.)

| They don't mean to; Its how their brain plans it out. Probably because they are used to talking IRL like that and it comes here by mistake. |

| It would be annoying to have to read and type; I was just typing that we should do something not actually meaning to. |
