luckyluke 1 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Speaking of punctuation, this girl who I'm into keeps texting me but her messages contain no punctuation whatsoever. They're really difficult to read. I'm a bit worried, my last girlfriend was thick as shite but even she knew how to use a full stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few friends like that and I rarely text them because I really hate trying to read their messages. I also have some friends who randomly miss out letters - fair enough if you're trying to cut down and squeeze everything into one text but yesterday I got a text saying 'Wat?' and nothing else. It made me sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lack of punctuation can make it difficult to understand or confuse the meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
