duck typing

In computer programming with object-oriented programming languages, duck typing is a layer of programming language and design rules on top of typing. Typing is concerned with assigning a type to any object. Duck typing is concerned with establishing the suitability of an object for some purpose. With normal typing, suitability is assumed to be determined by an object's type only. In duck typing, an object's suitability is determined by the presence of certain methods and properties (with appropriate meaning), rather than the actual type of the object.
When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. You are duck typing that bird :V

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.
