I’m an English major and a writer.
Old habits die hard.
But I’m always trying to learn new things, including communication nuances.

All of which is background leading up to this poll:

Should I stop adding periods at the end of texts that are intended to be open-ended and invite a reply (i.e. where I don’t want to appear offish or as if I’m trying to end the discussion)?

No. Punctuation matters.

It doesn’t matter. Stop overthinking things.

Absolutely. Get with the times, old man.

@reay this has caused problems texting with my teens. I was once asked if I was mad because I ended a sentence with a period.
@Gstpulldn @reay I'm imagining you replying with "Yes." and giving them even more heebie jeebies 😂
