People who write texts, emails, and social media posts with no punctuation

Honestly I think skipping punctuation says a lot about a person and not always in a bad way some folks just type the way they talk fast and unfiltered and it feels real and relaxed but on the flip side a wall of words with no periods or commas can make you work way too hard to figure out where one thought ends and the next begins especially in emails where clarity matters and you are trying to get something done quickly I get that texting is casual and nobody needs perfect grammar in a group chat but a little punctuation goes a long way toward making sure your tone lands the way you meant it a period can sound cold and a lack of one can sound chill so maybe its all about knowing your audience and picking the right style for the moment either way I will take a punctuation free message from a friend over no message at all and honestly the real crime is the person who sends ten texts in a row instead of one so if you ask me the no punctuation crowd is fine as long as they keep it readable and kind

I like leaving the second period off when typing two sentences. Like this

People who don’t use the oxford comma are lazy and trashy.

Yes.

My daughter told me that my use of correct grammar and punctuation in texts makes me seem angry. So please don’t use punctuation if I text anyone she knows.

Did not make this up
