It's not. Only a very small percentage (even a fraction maybe) of the people I communicate with have ever even mentioned it. It's like a thing that a few people are trying to make a thing even though it's not really a thing.
- ehnto 5y agoNo one is saying it's a universal law, but it's definitely a thing that happens, and it's down to the individuals. I know people who if they use a full stop it's intentional and it's to make sure I realise they're dead serious. I also have my partner, who puts a full stop on everything because that's correct grammar. This is a decades old phenomenon by the way, no one is "trying to make it a thing". This isn't a twitter hot topic, it's just a nuance of online communication that's been around since at least IRC's hey-days. Some people read into it, some don't.
- blooalien 5y agoThere's a sad small group of people who just want any excuse to be instantly offended at anyone and everyone about any little thing, and they're always makin' up weird stuff like this (or buyin' into some other small sad person's made up thing). I've come to realize the only options are to ignore them or call them out on it, depending on the given situation.
