> more recently I seem to have decided to no longer greet my husband

This is the most interesting part. When you're dating someone, there are defined parts of the day where you start-and-then-stop interacting with them, so there are greetings exchanged, etc. When you're married (or in a very steady relationship), it's more like one continuous conversation; since it never ends, it never has to begin again.

Just had to say that your last sentence was surprisingly touching (obviously IMO). I have my own qualms about the article in the OP as I've studied written/spoken language patterns a good amount in my time, but your point of relationships evolving into longer and longer 'continuous conversations' is a great way of putting it.

I just started computational linguistics at uni and I thought this was very interested (albeit very light hearted)

Could you elaborate on your qualms?

It can be touching or depressing depending on the day :)

It's the same with close friends (ie people I talk to more than once a day)- our conversation logs are just one steady stream of dialog.
