Stop. Using. Periods. Period.

Have you ever watched parents try to text with their children? One hilarious type of misunderstanding goes like this: Parent: I am waiting for you in the car. Child: r u mad? Parent: I am not mad. Parent: I am telling you I am waiting. Child: what?????

I saw an article about this on Mic, which isn't the greatest source, but apparently the WaPo agrees. At least when it comes to text messaging. Apparently it denotes anger.

I use periods in texts, but only when there's more than one sentence.
