So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades? (lemmy.world)

For those of us who learned to type, typing u instead of you will take longer because of muscle memory. I'm using glide typing on a phone for this and I still had to slow down to type u instead of you.

    Well you're used to writing "you" instead of "u" while texting (for the record, I also always write "you"). Similiarly, a lot of people (namely those who grew up with phones), are used to omitting full stops at the end of a message, so if someone does it it must be a conscious decision. See where I'm going with this? (Also it's not like people who use them are immediately sounding passive-aggressive, context matters)
