This discussion is really confusing me. Are people talking about periods being negative when used anywhere? when used in the last sentence in a multi-sentence message? when used at the end of a single sentence/thought message?
Confused.
- vbql 6y agoI'm sure there will be a CoC soon that classifies period terminated messages as a micro aggression. Penalties will be between 6 to 12 months hard labor in a re-education camp, where 15 year olds make you scrub the floor and kiss their boots.
- axaxs 6y agoFor me, only when used on a single short message sentence. Long explanations and paragraphs get punctuated at usual. I'll also add I'm not the arbiter of what is and isn't correct or wrong, just explaining my own opinion.
- Rusky 6y agoI suspect people are talking about periods being negative specifically in IM/text message contexts, like Slack, where "send message" has taken over the role of period and period has morphed into an extra signal for something like "finality."
