- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 5 weeks ago:
It made everything clear back when everything was hand written or done on a type writer. This mattered as paper wasn’t infinite.
Much of modern communication is done in bubbles on screens, so the punctuation doesnt matter as much as it used to.
That said, run-on sentences and word salad are quite common which makes for some entertaining yet stroke inducing screenshots.
The so-called “rules” of language arent actually rules. They are observations. Language use has greatly evolved over time, and schools teach the rules as they know them, forgetting that even a hundred years ago, it was different.

- Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder. 1 year ago:
In theory. It’s mounted vertically inside a slow cooker, so over ten years of heating and cooling the solder might have flowed, but I suspect its just typical mass production.

Control panel from a slow cooker.
