About This Quote
The analogy is that every time a person speaks, they create a sentence in the air. The sentence can be broken down into words and each word can be broken down into letters. Words should be placed in sentences to make meaningful statements. However, many speakers don't do this.
If you say "I hate you" or "I'm happy" the words all sound the same. When you repeat the same words, they can be placed in sentences which makes them sound less like noise and more like conversation.
