Texting styles, together
The Dry Texter and the Hype Texter
Lots of !!! meets a plain “ok”. The same good news can sound thrilled on one side and unbothered on the other.
A free quiz: pick the reply you’d send in 12 everyday moments. About 3 minutes.
Where it works
The big texts get things started and the short ones settle them, so plans get made and nobody has to dig for the answer.
Where it trips
Next to a text full of !!!, a plain reply can read as flat, even when it means yes. A difference in volume can sound like a difference in caring.
