I find that people consistently use 10 words to say what can be said in 3.

They talk excessively.

They blabber.

Blabber adds a negative subtext. Not all extended conversation is blabber, even if much of it is.

Peccavi.

Shouldn't it have been along the lines of the "eschew obfuscation" quote:

"Omit all the needless words, lexical expressions and verbage that are not required and so can be removed."

Or such.

I enjoy, and by enjoy, I mean don't enjoy, how you said something specific, leading people not only to reply with three word responses that don't capture your meaning, but also to upvote all the stupid responses that don't actually say precisely what you meant.
