    The point of online chats is that they’re asynchronous. You don’t need to wait for someone to type up their message because you can receive and transmit at the same time.

      Yes, but in an active conversation it’s possible, even sometimes likely, that a message the other person is typing will add context that has relevance for what you were about to say.
