My Gen Z kids see periods in my texts as 'aggressive' No. They're not. Full stop. This is one Gen X hill I am willing to die on. Period is and has always been neutral. That little dot has been signaling the end of people's thoughts for centuries .
Ultimately, I landed on sometimes using periods in texts and sometimes not—a compromise between my own rigid grammar rules and Gen Z's seemingly senseless texting rules. Except only using them sometimes just confuses my kids even more, which is hilarious. Is Mom mad? Is she not? My daughter said she just has to remind herself who is texting, knowing that I—and most of my generation—simply don't use periods aggressively. Nope. Not happening. Not ever. Period..
