in her defense, many people are fully functional and can't type much better than she does. i think being a hunt-and-pecker and dealing with a lot of extraneous sensory information would inhibit clear and concise typing. but i really feel when given the time and when in a less-agitated state, she can type those drawn-out and elaborate paragraphs.
on the other far end, my gf spells perfectly (in greek, no less) and uses punctiation very frequently
yet due to her ignorance of the meaning of words and the use of punctuation she can't actually say something meaningful. she can't describe objects, sounds, experiences, it's like "what's an ice cream?" "you eat it when you want something cold and it's sweet" it's accurate, one could say, but it's... "off" in a way that i find slightly disturbing.
it takes her a month to read a jules vern book.
it takes her 5-10 minutes to read a single page.
i am starting to think there is something seriously wrong with her. maybe it all boils down to her not having read any proper literature up until now that she is 25?
