The only reason Emacs people actually write it out is because it's so easy and natural.
I saw it and said: ooh, what's that, looks intense? And then I actually looked at the first couple and went ooooh, type in double quotes, jump back and paste (C-a then C-y), select the whole thing (C-a C-SPC C-e), etc etc till the end. Except without really "saying anything" in my head, cos it's just muscle memory, you do it all the time, it's like walking.
