“#Young people don\u2019t trust anyone who use this punctuation mark<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Periods may be coming to a full stop.<\/p>\n

While older texters may consider the period an innocent symbol that a sentence has ended, digital natives now consider it a triggering form of aggression. The punctuation problem ignited over social media<\/a> recently, with Gen Z and millennials agreeing that ending a sentence with a period is overly hostile, and, worse yet, extremely uncool.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly old people or troubled souls put periods at the end of every sentence,\u201d wrote digital culture journalist Victoria Turk in her book on digital etiquette, \u201cKill Reply All.\u201d<\/p>\n

The younger generations consider the act of sending a text a sufficient signifier of a complete thought, Turk wrote, making periods feel unnecessary and overly final.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing is, in a messaging conversation, a period is simply not necessary,\u201d she explained. \u201cIt\u2019s clear when you\u2019ve finished your thought already, so what function does the period fulfill? As a result, using a period in messaging now looks rather emphatic, and can come across as if you\u2019re quite cross or annoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The difference between a text saying, \u201cThat\u2019s funny,\u201d and \u201cThat\u2019s funny.\u201d may seem subtle to the sender, but many readers will interpret the latter to be far less pleasant and more intense, needlessly.<\/p>\n

Social media piled onto the sentiment, thanks to Guardian columnist Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett.<\/p>\n

\u201cOlder people \u2014 do you realize that ending a sentence with a full stop comes across as sort of abrupt and unfriendly to younger people in an email\/chat? Genuinely curious,\u201d she asked in a since-deleted tweet.<\/p>\n

Although the tweet was met with cries of ageism, her argument has a point: In a 2015 study of 126 undergraduates, researchers at Binghamton University found that texts containing periods were also perceived as insincere.<\/p>\n

\u201cTexting is lacking many of the social cues used in actual face-to-face conversations. When speaking, people easily convey social and emotional information with eye gaze, facial expressions, tone of voice, pauses, and so on,\u201d said lead researcher Celia Klin in a statement at the time the study was released. \u201cPeople obviously can\u2019t use these mechanisms when they are texting. Thus, it makes sense that texters rely on what they have available to them \u2014 emoticons, deliberate misspellings that mimic speech sounds and, according to our data, punctuation.\u201d<\/p>\n

The period\u2019s new, aggressive interpretation can also be used purposefully, for comedic effect.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile periods at the end of sentences might be on a downward slope, they can find themselves redistributed elsewhere, where they can be placed very deliberately in order to add emphasis,\u201d Turk wrote. This includes putting a period between every word, as in the example she gives: \u201cJust. Look. How. Emphatic. This. Is.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
