Are these sentences natural? September 14

Hi,

Are the following sentences natural to a native ear?

1. I am overcoffeed this morning. (I was trying to say that I had had too much coffee that morning).



2. Is there any indication to you as to how the customers are planning to respond to this change?



3. I think the developments from the middle east are playing on their choices.



Thanks,

MG.

  • 1.
  • I am overcoffeed this morning.
  • (I was trying to say that I had had too much coffee that morning).
  • It's OK as a casual remark.
  • I would have said "over-caffeinated", but the idea is the same either way.
