Whoa there's Beef between you then...

👍.

You mean... you're literate.

I use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation, it drives them crazy, they prefer txt speak and abbreviations. I only do this with certain people, simply because I know it annoys them!

I vacillate between correct spelling and punctuation and typing like I'm having a stroke.

Gen Z think periods on the end of sentences are aggressive ? FFS. What the hell is wrong with modern society ?

Start using the thumbs down emoji and use exclamation marks then.

I prefer to go full out aggression and leave them voicemails. THEY HATE IT.

In reality it's only a minority of Gen Z who tend to find thumbs up emojis and periods at the ends of sentences too confrontational, so on behalf of the majority of Gen Z and every millennial and Gen X'er still in the workplace, you're actually providing a service. Maybe if they can't handle that in a work setting (as opposed to texts amongst friends) they shouldn't be holding down a job that involves group chats.

My first "generational chasm": at a loss for how these kids don't use punctuation. Drives me crazy.

if you were being aggressive, you'd be posting pictures of your house.

As long as you're giving an equal amount of time to the 👎🏼 they should not get terrorized

NO periods at end of sentences. This could make for some confussing chats.

I had to explain to my kids why older people text the way we do

Like, in being ironic? In my 2 teams no one has a problem, tbh.

I've never heard that. Perhaps I only have two or three Gen Z colleagues, most are probably Millennials, while I am Gen X. See; periods on all sentences. :)

agressive LOL

💩

No but it honestly does 😭😭

Look? So long as I can understand you and you can understand me? Who gives a proverbial? I use the 👍 emoji because I'm on the bus and can't type fully as I'm being bounced from side to side!!! So learn text speak and stop being a numpty!!!

Speak the language,

May ye get to Heaven a half hour before Ol' Nick knows ye're dead.

How did they think that was going to work?

Revenge served cold.

Us Aussies were just confused for a moment there

I think I'd cry my eyes out, if that happened to me.

What's the reason...

Made that one obvious didn't they?

She was in the wrong to even think of sending it to one person

Lederhosen do create a lot of Leid, so she's not completely wrong

My family has one chat that is just my siblings, mum and I and one that includes my stepdad and step sister because my stepdad doesn't get why we talk about 'unimportant' things or send memes. He just wants to be included in plans for catch ups, which he then forgets until the day before.

I've seen it quite a lot on twitter, only it's worded in such a way that there is no doubt. In this case NTA.

My 38 year old ex friend with a kid disclosed he has been in a relationship with my 18 year old cousin for the past year or so, FYI she just turned 18 this year. We just found out last week

Imagine if they'd said "Die Hard" wasn't a Christmas film?

Someone add this landlady to the gen Z group chat

*snort laugh*

I had no idea the Bureau of Land Management was so controversial

How uptight can you be...

HP sauce? HP printers? Harry Potter? Probably the last one - I got murdered online by someone who insisted that because I had read Harry Potter, I was clearly okay with slavery (because of the house elves).

Great way to find out who in your group is sexist

That happened to me the only time I was group admin was because everyone else left.

Good for you!

There is a big difference between a woman beating coworker and a woman-beating coworker.

I'm guessing that means to give a STD.

Once I had a D&D group set a date I couldn't attend. I was also the one and only dm. Idiots

That's sad

Secret pregnancy?
