#28: I Like Periods, Period.
Wait, is this genuinely a thing? Are younger people offended by ending a sentence with a period? What do they want people to end sentences with? Do they think everyone should end everything with an exclamation point, so we seem really happy all of the time? Or do they just think that we should leave everything open-ended, with no closing punctuation?
But honestly, I don’t care, and I don’t want to care. That’s one of the best parts about getting older: I no longer feel any pressure to keep up with what the kids think is cool. Suppose they try to say that ending a sentence with a period is offensive. In that case, I can say, “Cool, I definitely don’t care, and I’m not going to do anything with that information,” because I no longer have any interest in impressing anyone! It’s really liberating.
