While driving home tonight I heard on the radio the results of an interesting study. I don’t know how accurate it was, but I thought the results rather humorous. According to the study, little girls, when they talk, tend to make recognizable language. Little boys on the other hand, tend to do less language and more sound effects, like “Zoom zoom or wup wup.”
A facet of this trend apparently persists all the way through life. According to the announcer, women speak about 25,000 words a year. Although don’t quote me exactly on the time frame, but that’s not important anyway. In the same period, men only speak about 10,000 words.
When asked how much time they need to communicate with their spouses, women say 45 to 60 minutes a day. When men are asked the same question, they respond with 20 minutes three times a week.
I like to think that men are just better at cutting to the heart of the matter without all the superfluous words. And sound effects can really spice up a conversation. I mean, what would MOVIES be like without sound effects.
