   What's this thing for where YouTubers chop off the last syllable of a word? Just seen one say "goodness gracious" but was edited to cut off the ious bit. It just sounds slopp.

     @KaraLG84 @jcsteh Yes. This is deliberate. In a lot of video editing courses for social media they also explain that you want to very slightly overlap the end of the previous sentence with the beginning of the next one. So all of this is deliberate. Sometimes though it's also used as a creative tool. Like if you're about to make a terrible dad joke or other expression you cut the punchline before you can finish it.

     @KaraLG84 I wonder whether it's just really bad silence removal with a poorly set noise gate and no proofing?

     @jcsteh I'm beginning to think it's an aesthetic they do deliberately. Maybe the abruptness looks cool.

     @KaraLG84 @jcsteh Everything needs to be fast. Content density.

     @talon @jcsteh I really wish they wouldn't suggest that. What is that style supposed to convey, apart from sounding like you don't know how to edit?
