Ending Your Texts With a Period Makes You Seem Insecure

Through extensive research, SUNY Binghamton has discovered that people who end their text messages with a period come across as insecure. #Science!

According to this extremely scientific study, the Frisky writes, “Researchers showed 126 undergraduates a bunch of texts featuring an invitation and a reply. Participants rated replies that were properly punctuated with a period as less sincere.”

Lead researcher Celia Klin says, “Texting is lacking many of the social cues used in actual face-to-face conversations. When speaking, people easily convey social and emotional information. Thus, it makes sense that texters rely on what they have available to them—emoticons, deliberate misspellings that mimic speech sounds, and, according to our data, punctuation.”

So there you have it! Plain and simple. If u txt some1 and end it wit a period! Ur Not kewl! #Lameo!
