  I'm used to social anxiety people (cant ask for extra ketchup) on the internet labelling themselves introverts, hope this article is not a trendsetter to label people who take bare minimum care in written communications.

  Next article will list behaviors like:

  - if a communication has multiple questions, introvert answers all of them instead of picking first/last

  - they dont say "hi" and wait for a reply

  - they say "yes, file is deleted" instead of a "yes" that could mean two or more things in context

  - they say "I will look into it now/later/never" instead of radio silence

  MSN is being very mean to my iphone, so I duck searched the title and came up with many similar results.

  The MSN article was 3 or 4 phone screens down, right past this very HN post. LOL.

  "I need some time to process all these results." :-)
