this is why I like tildes. “see you there~” is cute and not overly excited sounding.
Ok but if this wasn’t partially already inside everybody’s head, why doesn’t everybody write emails like the bottom one?
People use the top one for a reason.
save yourself the hassle and just skip the reply entirely!
I punctuate because I’m writing. Seems fitting, no?
I always punctuate. Sorry, I guess?
Woah calm the fuck down and please censor your punctuation for sensitive readers
Holy shit, you don’t have to be so aggressive about it… (/S+lol)
See you ssssoon…
I only punctuate when I actually talk
This is why we millennials add lol to everything I swear it. I’ve also evolved and started adding :). I hate sending work emails because I can’t do either thing, so I’m just the bottom frame gal in my mind.
Millennial here. I used to think of emojis as unprofessional, but then my current workplace started including them (and cringey slang) in important messages.
So, I readjusted my expectations. Limited emoji use = professional.
Then last year, I used the angry face 😠 along with a message. That seemed to concern people?
So now I’m wondering if “happy” emojis are allowed professionally, but negative ones aren’t (just as negative emotion must be hidden in all other aspects of society, I guess?)
I don’t know. There are no written rules. I’d rather we all go back to just using proper grammar and full sentences like we used to for work communications. I’m both too autistic and too old for this trendy shit.
That’s correct, you are only allowed to use cutesy or positive emojis. Which is why I strive to only use the most obscure
It really depends on your who your workers are, but I absolutely don’t use emojies in work emails. I do use them in teams messages though.
Emails are for conversations I want documented. Chat messages are the equivalent of a desk conversation.
Also, yeah, angry emojies are still taboo at any type of work chat for me. Can’t be seen as angry at the office.
Gen X here. I do all of that. :)
As a an anxious millennial I add: cool, 😅, 😆, 😊, XD or 😬. All inappropriately placed.
My niece, a younger millennial, adds haha to the end of every text. I’m not a fan.
I know this is comic but if I received a “SEE YOU THERE” text with all caps I would be taken aback. They are shouting at me.
Sure, see you there! :)
Yep, accurate - one of the reasons i normally skip punctuation at the end of private messages and either replace it with an smiley, lol or … .
It’s somehow funny that you decided to end this sentence with a dot which otherwise would’ve ended with three dots :D
There’s a sketch about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naleynXS7yo
That’s why I end all of my texts with “bitch”
See you there, bitch!
😁🔪
🥳 🔥
I’m as Millennial as it gets and I use proper punctuation everywhere. I just looked at some group chats and I’m definitely the exception.
Is that why there seems to be hardly any punctuation left? I see this over and over again in the posted screenshots and comments here, and it drives me absolutely crazy. Punctuation serves a purpose, but most importantly, it makes the crap you ejaculate into the ether easier to read. This text was written by an autistic old man.
