All men should get regular pedicures because feet, especially dude feet, are GROSS.

My wife gets her nails and feet done every month or so. She's got me going with here every other month. I like it.

lol
I'm so ticklish, I'm not sure I could handle that.

They do this thing where they use sandpaper thing on my feel is ticklish as hell.

My feet are like silk, rainbows, and opium.

GROSS silk, rainbows, and opium!

What kind of Hestonian lunatic rejects rainbows?

The times I don't go I can be found having a beer at the pub next door.

Record this shit. We need to see your feet go orgasmic.

Wait. How old are you? I was mainly referring to young teens.

I hate to break it to you, Mimi: almost everyone under 40 does it now.

Come on, man. I'm not that out of touch.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

lol

Yeah, I'm 39 and can confirm. Although I do still spell all the words fully and correctly, I've almost completely given up on punctuation (except for lol).

I saw that there were discussions of this very thing on reddit and quora.

Digging into it, I understand the concept behind it, I'm just not sure I can fully grasp how a period/dot/full stop can be mistaken as a threat. That's baffling. An exclamation point or all caps, sure, but I didn't grow up in the age of emojis as a form of expressing tone.

I do find it interesting, though.

I think this is just intuitive stuff for we youth. I definitely am consciously aware of not using periods often for this very reason. IN TEXTING, mind you. Not on something like a message board, of course.

Ive given up on apostrophes for contractions its mostly dumb.

I'm the same unless I'm texting with one of my editor friends.

I snarl a little inside when the Boss texts me "k" to mean "okay." Your life is not so on the go that you can't tap out all four letters. Seriously, whose life is *that* busy?

She should be careful who she sends that to—for the youth, a singular "k" has negative connotations.

This wouldn't be an issue if people wrote out the words.

What do today's youth mean by a single "k"?

Apparently it's unmasked hostility: https://www.insidehook.com/article/advi ... -explained

I wonder if you can cancel it by typing lol right after that.
