So apparently full stops in texts are 'passive agressive' now. What other unwritten rules for texting have changed over the last couple of decades?

    I don’t think the LOL thing had changed as ‘lol’ is passive aggressive, whereas ‘LOL’ means it’s hella funny.

    Another rule I think of is that ending sentences with periods is seen as passive aggressive, but I do that all the time (that rule’s bull).

      “LOL” is laughing out loud

      “lol” is a person with their arms raised. 😌

      LOL means Lots Of Love

      “She didn’t make it. She’s dead 😭”

      “OMG LOL”

        ROFL: Respecting Others’ Feelings Lovingly

        LMFAO: Loving Mindfully For All Others.

        I forget what ROFLMAO is. That’s probably why I don’t get invited for the holidays anymore.
