Extensive use of emojis and abbreviations is a good indicator.
I wish this were true, but not really. I've seen 40+ year olds doing exactly this. Why, you may ask? They grew up with Nokia phones.
T9 gang where your hands at
I’ve actually found that emojis are more of a GenZ and millennial thing. GenA doesn’t tend to use them, because there’s no novelty for them. Emojis were already invented by the time GenA was starting to use technology, so they’re not a new or exciting thing.
tbh idk 😆
Lol k 🤣
Conversely, excessive use of grammar in casual Internet discourse indicates a tight-arse
My fellow internaut, I am keenly afraid I will have to disagree. Some of us old folks were raised by less than stellar parents that whacked our knuckles whenever they detected a minimum deviation of perfect grammar.
The wake of the ordeal stuck with us forever.
Ok, more seriously: you type how you type, and as long as you are not trying to impose your own rules on others, you should be fine.
having said that i despise the total lack of punctuation drives me really really nuts why cant you use at least commas periods and question marks you fucks
