> Casually dropping that everyone is speaking so slow. That you must use the time between sentences for something meaningful, pretty funny. :-)

Didn't mean it that way . But that is truly the only way that I can use the computer while in a meeting.

If I'm listening to a Podcast or a Video at 2X or 3X, coming back to normal feels glacial by comparisson

If you're used to 800 wpm bursts, I'd Assume normal speaking pace will feel slow any way you cut it

On a slightly related note, have you felt this affecting your speech patterns?

Edit: if you're referring to videos or podcast then yes, assuming the objective is to get information as quickly as possible.

Actually that isn't really the case. That might happen if you're asking someone to read something to you for an extended period of time, but that's not how normal conversations happen.

Nope.
