Not exactly the same topic, but — anyway — I’ve noticed that people can’t focus or conclude any thoughts on — whatever — last week I met this guy and he was — you know — and I’m like — but he didn’t finish any of his — so, it’s totally confusing and — whatever — so who uses periods anyway, because racism and stuff

Parents, teach your children. I despise getting text messages with truncated language. No one needs to conserve data these days. Terms like “UR”, B4, annoy me. When I text I use grammar and spelling as well as I can. It does annoy my daughter, but she is used to it.

Write for your audience. Not for idiots. Unless your audience. Are idiots.

Are you serious? Some people are being offended by...a PERIOD?????

*facepalm* You gotta be kidding me.

[dainbramaged]

Offended by a period? This has to be a joke.

[Pajamajan]

Wait. Wut?

Were you watching a Joe Biden speech?

[know.your.why]

I was about to say that there is no cure for Young-n-Dumb. There is. War.

By Greenland or any other literate country.

[Leaning Right]

Concern over a dot? Now, that’s silly!

Let’s all focus on something more serious! Why aren’t exclamation points used more often? Don’t skimp on the exclamation points!
