Understood.
Yes but you should work on forming good habits. One day you might come across someone that doesn't understand.
Marinette
I thought you were efficient, why waste time if you know what I'm saying?
Me
This is ridiculous, because that's the way you're supposed to write.
Marinette
Periods are passive aggressive over text, it affects the tone
capitalization comes off as stiff
so do commas.
it's called being dry
It's a completely different set of rules that go unsaid they change over time but these are the ways people like to communicate online right now. If you write like that no one is going to interpret it the way you want it to be.
Me
I refuse to change the way I write for some passing fad, you are the only reason I use this cursed yellow app. Anyone else that has any way to contact me understands that I have no intention of changing the way I write so spare me the lecture.
Marinette
Fine.

Me
You said we could change names on this app, yes?
Marinette

Me

Me
You just expressed your amusement in three different ways, that seems excessive.
N.F.F.Y.

Me
They're asking who I'm texting again.
This is your fault.
N.F.F.Y.

Me
I would not call butchering the language a skill, perhaps a talent. An infuriating one.
N.F.F.Y.
