    I worked at a call centre in Canada and there was some sort of loophole about saying you were calling "on behalf of" someone. So we were regularly told to say we were calling "on behalf of Siemens", "on behalf of HP", etc despite having absolutely nothing to do with these companies. Straight up saying "I'm calling from Siemens" was a big no-no though, would get immediately flagged.

    what I don't get is how he was able to escape at all, how late was the police?! You would have thought the moment he entered that bus leaving the city the cops would have someone waiting at the destination

    yes, exactly that. It softens the message, it's IM etiquette. It can have the same function as an emoji basically.

    No problem with capital letters btw because phones tend to do that automatically, the period however is a conscious decision

    note I am talking about instant messaging, not forums. Obviously it doesn't come across the same way in this context

    at least from my perception, I see a very big difference between a whatsapp message saying

    no

    and a whatsapp message saying

    No.

    obviously not referring to when there is more than one sentence

    people who use periods when instant messaging. Can you come across as more of a fucking prick?

    Bought a few indies yesterday during the steam sale, next thing I know it's 1am, I've forgotten to have dinner and I've got 5h in Into the Breach. Great game
