is it rude to end text with periods(".")?
I just view some post on the internet which said ending text with periods is rude. Does it really make others unpleasant if I end sentence with period in message? But I think for most English learners, we prefer to complete a sentence with period. Surprised to find it rude, and I use it a lot....So sad...Hope my foreign friends never mind...

Texting is very informal, so if you use proper English, including capitalization, spelling and punctuation, some people might think that either you're an old fogie like me, or else that you're expressing anger or sarcasm. Leaving out punctuation, and using abbreviations and slang is an indication that you're young and hip, or part of the "in" crowd.

I think using periods in texts can be seen as rude, but not always. Some people only use periods if they are mad, but some people use proper grammar regularly it depends on the person.

No, it's not rude. The reader will (or should!) think that you are using English normally. Stay with standard English and you shouldn't have any problems.

It is not rude to end sentences, like this one, with a period .
It is normal to do so.

I don't think it is rude, but it is not common to have a period in a text if the text is just one sentence. If it's more than one sentence then periods are a must.
