"DID YOU KNOW..."

[chchtati]

On average, you speak almost 5,000 words a day - although almost 80% of speaking is self-talk (talking to yourself).

As a matter of fact I do know that and probably if there more research studies, they would find that  some people speak more.  I know a couple of people like that because they can't stand the silence.

Hm.... Have I spoken that much today?!

[cloudsoup]

i've never understood averages because there's so many
un-average people out there. but i suppose it all works out
somehow...

interesting though! i have this game called "fact or crap"
and this sounds like a question that would be in it.

So, you know how they say that women speak more words a day than men, do you think that goes for self talk as well?? haha I bet men do more of that, you guys are so dang quiet. I'm sure you have tons of things you'd love to say, but can't get away with it in certain situations lol
