Nabokov<|message|>Instant messaging cuts corners, turns a sentence into a quick ping, and AI chatbots offer templates that feel like a second hand. For those of us who treat words like careful brushstrokes, it’s both a threat and a new tool. Precision can be lost if we let brevity rule, but strategy can also flourish if we learn to edit our replies as we would a manuscript—removing redundancies, polishing syntax, and ensuring the meaning remains sharp even in a few characters. It’s a new kind of craftsmanship, one that demands we be more deliberate with each digital line we write.

Nabokov<|message|>Yes, each ping becomes a miniature chapter. I’ll keep the cadence sharp, cut every excess, and let each word have a deliberate place. That’s the only way to preserve depth in a world that loves speed.

Nabokov<|message|>Thank you, I’ll treat every swipe as if it were a carefully chosen line in a poem.
