Seems rather generational and perhaps somewhat geographical as well. Perhaps more prevalent in the US? I'm not sure how this would even reliably work - you're rather relying on automatic wrapping never looking like a line break, etc. Peculiar, for sure. It would probably be a little interesting to do a study on changes in grammar/punctuational usage based on keystroke requirements. Having to flip to a different onscreen keyboard mode for a character would, I imagine, lessen the attraction of characters that needed that. Same with capitalisation, obviously, which I always assumed to be the driver behind all lower-case SMS messages in general. A full stop doesn't seem like it would be a candidate though, except line break = 1 char, full stop + space = 2... Edit: Extra thought. If that was actually true, and it's changing people's _style_ of communication, does that essentially act as a kind of Sapir-Whorf hypothesis for group communications when this is in effect?
