Today, I want to talk about one letter words. Actually I have two other things I need to blog about, Zack's visit to Singapore, and me coming out to my aunty. But first, monosyllabicism.
The reason I bring this up is very much related to forming relationships. I absolutely cannot stand people who have monosyllabic disease. I feel so helpless and unwanted whenever I sms someone I like with quite a number of words, but what I get are monosyllables, or disyllables. If I'm lucky, yes a few more words. Here's an example.
Example 1
Me: Hey, what's up? What are you doing?
Him: gg hm
ME: I see, where did you go? I'm supposed to continue working till 10pm tonight, but we finished early so now I'm going for a swim.
Him: ***did not reply*
Example 2
Me: Hey there, hope you've rested well today.
Him: ok,work..
Me: Can I call you later for a chat?
Him: Me partying 2ngt
Me: I thought you partied last night and today's rest?
Him: Both ngt n next wk oso
Me: Oh ok, you enjoy yourself then.
Him: Haha thanks u too
Me: Nope, I'm not partying
Him: Well enjy urself at hm thn
Yes I know very well SMS means short messaging service. But at least show some initiatives in initiating conversations? I'm always throwing the ball to you, and I always have to go over and retrieve it from you to throw it back at you again. I'm tired! I guess he's not interested in me... time to move on.

I know exactly what you mean. One types complete words, sentences, and even whole paragraphs, and one expects something approximately equal in return. Otherwise, the balance of energy is way off. One-letter words have their place ... but only when the words get in the way.
