Startling revelations. Most of the things I utter are uttered in a mumbling sort of way. This leads me to believe that I'm speaking too low for others to hear me. Recently, I've realized that I'm not speaking too low to others, but rather too loudly to myself. Most of the conversation that is had by myself on any given day occurs to myself, so naturally when I speak to other people I tend to do it in a manner where it doesn't particularly matter if anyone else hears it, so long as I do.
Something else. I believe I lack the proper amount of interlocution to keep my conversing abilities at a normal level. There is the mumbling bits, but also when a conversant will say something to me (usually a greeting or parting phrase) all the bits and -fixes get mixed up and I end up saying things as "have a good da..ight" or, in response to a video clerk's "thanks for stopping in," thanking me for my custom, I've simply said "no."
Maybe I am becoming something like Jodie Foster in Nell, my own garbled idioglossia.
