periods make a sentence more serious

[Kingdaro]

i made a post on tumblr about this a while ago, but i just now noticed how evident this is.

not sure if it's just me, but when I read sentences, i'm more likely to take them seriously if they have a period at the end.

like, this sentence:

i hate your face, forget you

i hate your face, forget you.

does the second example seem more "serious" to anyone?

[lolz??]

yes, very

yes, very.

[TeslaCoil]

indeededly.

[Blocklandian¹]

It's serious grammatically speaking aswell.

[otto-san]

yes, perhaps because it makes it seem more "final"

like, "this is the end of it"

and possibly also establishes more credibility than without because of obeying grammar rules

[Steve5452]

Yes.......................... ............................. ...........

You need to capitalize the first letter, too...and all your "I"s...and finish being grammatically correct in order for me to take you seriously.

which is why I don't like using them

i'm not a very serious guy when it comes to the internets

[Jairo]

that's why I almost never use periods

[BubbaGum]

Periods are annoying
I dont use them

i just type like this all the time
I mean, if I wanted to, I could probably type much nicer.
but that feels so weird and not me so yeah

[Night Fox]

no.

You'd need to type right if you were ever writing a paper or resume, or something similar.

[Cucumber!]

why do people talk like this

And yeah, I mean I guess the sentence is a tad more serious...since it's now a statement.
