Getting a bunch of questions at once is kind of annoying cus it requires more typing. Id use csv (6,3,7p), but then thatll just require explaining!

Almost as if it was designed to require attention and engagement when someone might have other things to attend and engage.

Interesting. I prefer all the questions at one so I don't have to send multiple times. Id have responded to this one like, "6ppl, 2veg, 19:00, thanks!"

To me it's way more annoying when someone sends a series of questions as in typing an answer, and asks a follow up question between or after the chain of questions.

Ie

A: How many people are coming?

A: How many are vegetarian?

B: 6 people

A: what time are they coming?

B: 2 are vegetarian?

A: wait do you mean six people are coming or did people are vegetarian?

B: typing...

A: oh ok I see nvm. So what time are they coming?

True. Also annoying if the first and second questions are both yes/no

Didn’t your teacher make you restate the question on your answer starting in like 2nd grade? That would solve the problem. Nobody pays per letter in text messages anymore.

Texting is slow, if you expect many word and I'm not near my real keyboard, you'll need to call me.

I love voice messages. I can explain quick and clear, and when they get a chance to listen and reply they will.

Who the hell types that much in a text message?
