Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude?

Because old people like us view written correspondence as less disposable. When jotting down personal notes, we don’t worry about spelling or punctuation, but writing a letter? You double check that shit so there isn’t documentation of how illiterate you are!

Youth grew up with texting. It’s designed to be fast and efficient. Sup? OMG 👍 They just need to get the point across, it’s not a grammar competition.

Neither is right or wrong, it’s just a generational difference.

Oh, no. It’s wrong. Punctuation makes everything clear!

  There is absolutely no difference between “no” and “No.”. Both can be understood perfectly well.

  Or … If you can’t understand it unless they spell it out for you, there may be a deficiency on your end.

    I’m glad you thought it was funny.
    
    Evidently it hit a little too close to home for others.

Young people focus on the tone they’re conveying.

Old people focus on following the rules that were beaten into them as children for no reason.

  That’s a good way of framing it.
