    Oh hey, can you try to explain why you want to do that? I’m always confused by it because unless you mean to end on a dramatic pause, these are just regular sentences and those usually end on a period (or nothing/smiley, if you’re an internet person

      I think it’s just a desire to indicate some uncertainty about something (like - I’m not an expert, my opinion on whatever could change with time or new information). A full stop seems arrogant somehow.

      I realise it’s not a good impulse and mostly resist. Mostly …

      (that last one’s nothing to do with the above reasoning, it’s just a line from Aliens that’s stuck in my head).

        Thanks for the input, I know my reply is plenty late x.x

        I totally get the "a full stop seems arrogant, which is why, unless I write formal mails for work or such, just skip the full stop in short one-sentence-answers or if a linebreak makes for better reading because my two or three sentences pertain to different topics.
