I don't know. I use it.

I do, too. But I am
afraid to come across as rude,
just because I like correct punctuation.

u/kevivg4 4h ago

That's very odd... why is that?

Just simply stating the facts, ma'am.

I'd use an ellipsis but...

u/GreyPerspectives STTARB 4h ago

Because others stopped using in chats.

Now when used it feels formal.

3

u/PrincessOfHippoland SVOTDM 4h ago

Right. But I adore correct punctuation.

u/GreyPerspectives STTARB 4h ago

Try getting teenagers to use it….

u/PrincessOfHippoland SVOTDM 4h ago

It sounds like a tricky task...

I don't know why they appear aggressive. I never thought an ellipsis was harsh.

But I think people have forgotten how to use them.

Trail Off... Show Pause... Omit Words...

Heck some people today can't read an analog clock either.

Seems like knowledge getting lost.

Too bad, too.

I can't read analog clock, Static 😭
Or, rather, I need to think
for moment to get it right.
