    Nuanced writing, with carefully chosen structure, grammar,and vocabulary, constructed to clearly convey the meaning of the writer, hasn’t been considered poor communication skills in previous generations.

    I believe someone famous had feelings about brevity and wit and whether being pointlessly verbose was good writing.

    The issue is that younger generations have been poorly educated by MAGA educational policies, and they believe that it is preferable to write like they’re still in kindergarten, and are insisting that the rest of the world dumb down their writing skills to appease poorly educated young citizens.

    So now we live in a world where America is the only country on earth?

    Sorry, I’m not going to jettison proper writing skills because you aren’t educated enough to understand proper English. You’re going to have to level up your communication skills, until your English comprehension is properly calibrated, and a Period in a text no longer infuriates you as some sort of Passive-agressive message.

    Again, no one here is furious, we just wonder why you haven’t learned how to text in 30 years. The only anger seems to be from people like you who are upset about being misinterpreted but not upset enough to reflect or change
