A few years ago my son told me it was considered rude (or at least snarky) to end with a period in texts. I told him I would continue to do so because it’s so ingrained in me — he would just have to understand that for me, it’s grammar.
Punctuation is important. Consider: “Oh My God”, he ejaculated, vs. “Oh My God. He ejaculated”. I wonder how long this post will remain online? My apologies in advance, but making a point first requires getting people’s attention.

It’s grammar. Edicate, civility, manners are also failing.

I always do that. And I spell everything out and correctly. Yeah, I’m old. And a former English teacher. LOL! (That’s the only abbreviation I use).

Guilty, and not the least bit remorseful for it!

Even an incomplete sentence requires a period. I think so anyway.

And he probably never says “OMG”. How did Baldo even know that that dot was called a period?
