My phone keyboard adds so many unwanted periods, sometimes between every word.

If poetry text
Is how you commune with friends
Passive aggressive.

edit: fixed the formatting, and my keyboard unironically took my double-tap on space to add periods for me! 😅

It’s the explicit inclusion of period where ‘normally’ there wouldn’t be one.

But given the larger history of textual communication, full punctuation is normal. Texting isn’t charged per character so it’s not like there’s a benefit to leaving it out.

and my dad replies, “Great.” That looks passive aggressive

What about it makes it look passive aggressive? How would excluding punctuation make it not look passive aggressive?

It’s full of such inflammatory rage bate

But how is that not just a function of the size of the audience there? We see political trolls crawling out here, too, as the number of commenters increases.
