What? Why am I in this group chat? If everybody has that group text from a bachelorette party in, like, 2018 that people will still pop into to, like, share photos of their kids or ask questions about, you know, those have to die once you're done with the reason that you created them. So if you have a group chat with your parents because you're related, that...

can keep going forever because you'll always be related. But if you have a group chat to plan a project or a trip or do introductions, that needs to be laid to rest once that planning is over. Another don't is don't get all offended when people have a different texting style than you.

I see this come up all the time. I write for an audience that's a little bit older, and people get really ruffled when people don't use, for example, like, proper capitalization, punctuation. No way!

And then you can flip the script and you'll see younger folks getting frustrated and making fun of the way their bosses, their relatives text when they're spelling things out, using ridiculous acronyms, using the Gen Z, sorry, the Gen X ellipsis, where you're like not sure if they're mad at you because they are putting ellipses into text messages where they don't belong.

Like every generation has its quirks with the way that it is typing out messages. And I think we're past the point where we're going to argue about like, should we be spelling everything right? You know, should this be should this be formal? Should this be informal? You have to let everyone live.

Ooh, okay. Oh, my gosh. I have so many don'ts. I have more don'ts than I have dos, and I guess that's what etiquette is. If we all did everything right, we wouldn't need it. But don't be a wet blanket. Obviously, texting is going to be shorter, drier than sending a voice note, than having a phone call. But you want to be matching people's energy, especially if you use texting to stay in touch.
