My mom, in her 60s, is worse since she often omits punctuation when replying. The conversation goes something like this:
Me: "Watch the porch for packages, something is arriving today for your birthday!"
Her: "Great"
She's not unhappy, but the lack of punctuation makes it very hard to tell. If I didn't know her well, I'd be a bit put off.
- slumdev 5y agoI intentionally end a lot of sentences with an exclamation point because I have seen this problem and don't want to be perceived this way by colleagues. But in a short message, it can be half (or more) of the message! I probably end up coming off like a dog who's so excited he can't sit long enough to earn a treat!
