You're spot on. While programming, I'm trying to keep all the parts in my head and be exact and thorough in my "communication". I try to come up with all the edge cases and be clear about the exact format for everything.
If I need to speak to a person right after, I'm a bit awkward because all I can think about is how imprecise human conversations are, and I have to hold myself back from correcting people because that's the different "medium" we're using.
