Words for sure, spend too much of my time talking to people online

If I average around 10000 steps per day, that's less than an hour reading, probably around a movie's worth of subtitles.

I've probably read at least 10 times more words through my life.

Should be spoken words not read. Feels closer

We debated this at work yesterday. It’s words for sure for me. I imagine we’re gonna be a word heavy crowd here (:

But tbh I think it’s words for most people?

You think you’ve spoken less words than you’ve read?

Words for sure.

I don't say shit

I believe Rodney doesn't read.

I READ that as spoken words at first and was about to vote for walking, but definitely read words wins out

We are constantly reading stuff all the time. Just one day at work or school as a kid, for a small sample size, you are reading an assload without picking up a single book. Think of all the signs and shit on your computer. Now think of all the shit you read just scrolling through your newsfeed. Even a very active person who doesn't read books probably isn't coming close on steps vs reading.

Speaking probably wins handily too tbh, even if you're quiet and active, but I definitely think most people read more words than they speak.

Also you read everything you type or write but aren't speaking it unless you're a psychopath

I talk out loud when I text. I must be a psychopath.

I have taken a lot of steps in my life and have listened more to audiobooks than read them, moreso last couple of years. So I was thinking steps, but could be I'm underestimating the amount of words you actually read each day.
