The Extra Letter

Some words carry too strong of a meaning with them. For instance when I message “Wow,” I don’t mean “What the fuck! That is amazing!” but I want to imply the idea of “wow” on a lesser note. For these situations, I use an extra letter to soften the meaning.

When a girl reads the word with that extra letter, the fraction of a fraction of a second that comes from interpreting the extra letter makes the word hit slightly less, which is good. Save the “wow” for when it matters. When you are impressed and would give a solid head nod to the girl for something she said, say “woww” instead. It helps. In the same way, I turn “Hey” into “Heyy” to make my greeting one notch less harsh. My examples will better breakdown the usage of extra letters. Look out for them. Use extra letters when you are being light and playful. Use extra letters when she is playful with you. I felt so stupid the first time I texted “Heyy” and “Woww” and “Thaat’s cool” and “Ohh noo.” Now, those are standards in my Tinder arsenal. It’s the way it works.

The extra letters concept expands to some punctuation too. For instance, two question marks make the question have a more fun and light feel. An ellipses (...) removes a lot of impact from a sentence, so the sentence does not hit so hard. Ellipses are also useful to prompt a response if you make a statement and do not wish to use a question mark. The biggest problem with ellipses is their easiness to misuse. An ellipsis after “Hmm” makes the tone more fun and curious. An ellipsis after “Hi” makes you creepy. I use ellipses properly in the examples to come.

So, those are all the softeners. Now, the English language is big—and “girl text” is vast—but I have found one major magnifying tool you can use to amp up the message you’re sending out.

Usually the extra letter softens the intensity of the word. There are times when adding letters to the end of a word makes the statement’s meaning more intense. A more intense version of “lol” is “lolol.” The extra “ol” increases the impact of “lol.” When I have a girl that truly says something funny or ridiculous, I type “lolol.” It really hits hard. Similarly, two exclamation points together magnifies the message’s intensity rather than softens it.
