I text every day, and I don't use single letters, digits, or emojis, because I have an education, and can write like a normal person. You don't have to communicate that way if you choose, I honestly don't care at all, but you don't have the right to insist that I wrote like an uneducated child, just so your weak mind can comprehend it.
The ENTIRE debate began when someone received a follow-up text with "Great." instead of "Great!" and was offended that the sender wasn't more enthusiastic. So yes, there was a level of anger about it.
I refuse to write stupider, you need to read smarter.
Lololol. So you think the people who can communicate more effectively than you, across a broader spectrum of the population, are the ones who are dumber and less educated then you? Somehow you are success while failing to communicate?
Gain some self awareness. You are being a curmudgeonly prick who is refusing to change.
The rest of us have gradually adjusted our communications styles over the past 20 years as our communication habits and mediums have changed. We did it through high school, and university, and grad school, and our professional careers. You have been a stick in the mud who has accomplished nothing but being repeatedly misunderstood in that time.
Grow. The. Fuck. Up.
There's some emphatic period usage to get your dick hard.
A lot of words to defend not using a period at the end of a word. You people must really HATE periods.
