TLDR; It's not always... a good idea... to use... ellipsis.

    Poor millennials being triggered by punctuation.
    Grow up already.

    This utter prat thinks millennials invented the paragraph. Screw passive aggression, the relevant "Inside Out" character in my head is yelling .... punch this dipshit on the nose. I bet his own mother secretly hates him.

    "Boomers" huh... some people may think of others and not want to bombard them with 10 different text messages to get their point across when it could come across in a single text. From my perspective I'd rather get one text with someone's thoughts on it then get bombarded with multiple texts unnecessarily. "Wow, are you done yet?". Maybe I can reply now without getting the theme of the message crossed because they've hit upon two other things between their first message and I'm able to respond.

    Your way isn't always "the" way to do it, pompous ADHD generation.

    Because of the dislike of the ellilpses...I shall endeavor...to remain faithful to...the natural order of writing...

    Boomer here. We did not learn to use elipsis for postcards or letters. Or texts, either. It's just a go-to for people who don't understand (or don't care about) punctuation, proper messaging, or sentence construction.

    ...but you are not right
