How should we deal with the period at the end of the messages ? The world of chat users around the world has split. There are fans of the point and there are those who hate it. There is no middle ground. Either black or white. Either point or without point.

But where is the truth?

The definitive answer comes from a scientific study published by Binghamton University in New York:

whoever puts the period at the end of a message is lying.

And this rule, adds the study, applies to all types of text communication: SMS, WhatsApp messages, Facebook, etc.

As if to say … let ‘s not care about grammar!

In fact, going into the details of the study, the concept is more specific.

The researchers who carried out the study showed that those who read a message with a period at the end tend to judge it less truthful .

It does not therefore mean that the message with the dot will certainly be false, but that it will be perceived as false by the recipient.

Therefore? Point yes or point no?

The answer now seems clear: if you don’t want the recipient of your WhatsApp message to think you are lying, then avoid ending your messages with a period . And forget about the grammar rules …
