Punctuation
(sh.itjust.works)
So true.
Get you friends who will just send "See you there, bitch", affectionately.
See you there, bitch lol
For any millennials in the audience... Lol
I'll do "See you there :)". In my mind, the emoticon is a much more subtle smile than an emoji.
(Also I'm older than emojis so emoticons come more naturally lol)
Edit: this comic was further down on my feed lol
The first emoji sets were created by Japanese portable electronic device companies in the late 1980s and the 1990s.
Though SoftBank's 1997 emoji set is considered to be the origin of modern emoji.
Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
I agree.
See you there π <- slightly fake or sarcastic
See you there π <- TOO excited
See you there :) <- Natural, relaxed, and just right
π with its hollow stare. You know it's screaming on the inside.
π is a psychopath. π is Disney's Psychopath.
Emoticons 4lyf.
See you there ;β ) <- devious
See you there 8==D
See you there []D [] []V[] []D
Nice rocket ship
I was expecting Austin Powers, this is familiar but I canβt place itβ¦ whatβs it from?

I often use emoticons, and dislike when the software automatically replaces them (although Iβve learned to accept that as a fact of life now). But I will never use an emoticon without nose. :-)
(cough) discord-- (cough) --pumble-- (cough)
See you there :)
When in doubt. Sunglass emoji it out. π
Yes, I use these keymojis in the end of phrases online to not risk the situations on the comic
Then they'll think I don't know how to use correct punctuation at the end of a sentence!
See you there (β¬ΰ² ηΰ² )
See you there α( β’Μ α β’Μ )α
I had an ex partner get upset because I used a period at the end of an innocuous text. This is among the reasons why they are my least favorite ex. Just a mess of anxiety and arrogance, where they'd worry about bullshit but be completely convinced that they were right and their way of thinking about things was the only sensible way.
Unfortunately they're still distantly connected to the friend group, but luckily I haven't run into them in years.
I heard the kids are putting a space before the exclamation mark to tone down its immediacy:
See you there !
versus
See you there!
I'm old. I guess it works, but then I'm of the "ellipsis isn't necessarily ominous" generation, so what I think might be completely wrong...
That's interesting. Adding a space before the exclamation mark would just make me think it's a typo and not an intentional punctuation choice.
And the the use of the ellipsis is something I've recently seen in some work correspondence, and to me it came off as sarcastic, not ominous. Which was strange as the sender is usually very polite. So this makes a lot more sense if it's a generational thing.
I still don't understand it though. If not sarcasm, ominous ending, or an interruption, what does an ellipsis signify and why not just use a period?
It mean an incomplete thought or phrase, in some situation it mean the lack of words, i should make some examples maybe
"They can be used like...
...this"
"I don't really understand... why you did this?" This example show the lack of words for something
It can also mean disappointment/sadness
"I though i was gonna win..."

That's just french
UHG not that
Almost rather someone do a bad smiley (you know what I mean :)
This mustn't register on an emotional level.

I work so hard to break this habit since an editor told me about distinctive "feminine" traits in writing. Basically, ways women try to lessen the impact of statements, ie:
"You might like this restaurant, DeLucca's, I heard it's supposed to be good !" vs. "Let's go to DeLucca's tonight."
Solution:
"I'm going to DeLucca's at 8 for all you can eat pasta whether you join me or not~"
TIL my natural writing style has distinctly feminine traits.
Same, though mine wasn't always like that.
It was my copy editor's take, not necessarily mine, though I took it to heart for a while. It had less to do with my being a chick and more related to my anxiety and depression.
Here's an interesting blog on it, one of many perspectives: https://debuk.wordpress.com/2016/03/06/do-women-and-men-write-differently/
This is why I never use punctuation anywhere You never know who is reading things and I cant let anyone be left out
Let's eat grandma
Let's eat, grandma.
There is a real need for punctuation.
