Drop tests leave iPhone 15 Pro absolutely battered; iPhone 14 Pro comes out fully functional
90% of the time I see grammar nazis doing their thing, it's never about protecting the "sanctity" of grammar - it's more about exerting control and attempting to enjoy the feeling of being right.
The other 10% of the time are from people that know its purpose is to be a vehicle for communication of ideas, and will also make up statistics.
Yep, all good. Though in no way was I being a grammar Nazi, I was stating my opinion. I don’t bother with perfect punctuation because it’s not necessary to be instantly readable.
Also, my nephew told me that putting a full stop at the end of a sentence now is sometimes seen as a bit rude 😅 No idea why, but that’s ok, it’s still just as readable
Yeah, I heard mention about periods at the end of chat, comments, and txts make them seem more rude since it's supposed to be a more informal form of communication. I take it as them interpreting it as the sender being overly formal and strict, and the writer dictating, as they're reading it in their mind, where the end of the message is.
Instead of letting them read it with an open invitation for a reply at the end, it communicates the sender doesn't want to continue further down the topic; it's definitely something in language that's part of a generational divide formed completely by the media it's being conveyed in.
Did an internet search after hearing it, and came across articles that bring it up; like https://www.npr.org/2020/09/05/909969004/before-texting-your-kid-make-sure-to-double-check-your-punctuation
Yeah, he could be reading it the same as someone looking them straight in the face, judgmentally communicating "are you being dumb?", when it could mean any number of things - like contemplating pensively or not knowing what to say.
The younger generation has had trouble with others watching and judging them in a lot of aspects in life - not even just from real life interactions with the older gen, but also things like the constant barrage of being forcefully compared with peers on digital platforms that are incentivized to do so. It can manifest in a lot of aspects in interactions that leave them always feeling inadequate.
More communication with you about it would probably help him untangle those signals, and learn to relax about it a little, though.
