Don’t care. I don’t live my life to please others, and I’m not going to stop using periods because some linguistically ignorant doofus thinks texting is the proper arena to create new language rules. Texting is supposed to be casual and fast, and likes to use single numbers, single letters, and emojis to communicate, as well. It’s fun, but it shouldn’t be influencing the language enough that it becomes acceptable in literature, instructional manuals, legal documents, news reports, etc. Now you want to apply a whole new slew of grammar rules to something that was supposed to be NOT THAT.
Too bad if your precious feelings are hurt by a Passive Aggressive Period, or a Snooty Question Mark. Grow the fuck up.
Lol I’m not, I just communicate easily with normal people, and know that when I read texts from ancient curmudgeons, I need to first filter out their poor communication skills.
Nuanced writing, with carefully chosen structure, grammar,and vocabulary, constructed to clearly convey the meaning of the writer, hasn’t been considered poor communication skills in previous generations.
The issue is that younger generations have been poorly educated by MAGA educational policies, and they believe that it is preferable to write like they’re still in kindergarten, and are insisting that the rest of the world dumb down their writing skills to appease poorly educated young citizens.
Sorry, I’m not going to jettison proper writing skills because you aren’t educated enough to understand proper English. You’re going to have to level up your communication skills, until your English comprehension is properly calibrated, and a Period in a text no longer infuriates you as some sort of Passive-agressive message.

I believe someone famous had feelings about brevity and wit and whether being pointlessly verbose was good writing.

So now we live in a world where America is the only country on earth?

Again, no one here is furious, we just wonder why you haven’t learned how to text in 30 years. The only anger seems to be from people like you who are upset about being misinterpreted but not upset enough to reflect or change
Lmao, you keep acting like other people perceiving you as an asshole is a them problem when it is literally just a you problem.
It’s been 30 fucking years, learn how to text.
