thought typing

Typing one's thoughts as one thinks them. When thought typing, the writer sends his thoughts from his soul and brain via his nerves to his fingertips which merge with the keyboard's keys which are connected to the computer and display the words he thinks and types on the screen.
'Thought typing’ transcribes one's thoughts to a computer screen. 'Thought writing' transcribes one's thoughts to a piece of paper.

'Thought writing' and 'thought typing' are not the same as writing. Writing asks the brain to articulate a thought or emotion one feels so one can write down the clauses or sentences the brain is articulating in response to that prompt.

Common Nonsense

Common nonsense is every member of society's basic ability to perceive, understand, and judge things in a nonsensical way that is shared by, thus common to, nearly everyone and can reasonably be expected of nearly all people without need for debate.
Because "aspartame," the chemical used to sweeten most chewing gums, is made from laboratory-created bacteria shit, chewing gum, as popular as it is, and as cool as some younger people think it is, is a manifestation and an infestation of common nonsense in the nation.
