Linguists studied how functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought is changing language. One said: "If you send a functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought message without a full stop, it's already functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought that you've concluded the functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought." Young people tend to look at finished text messages with full stops as being functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought.

She said: "It's clear when you've finished your functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought, so what functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought does the period fulfill?...Using a period in messaging...can come across as if you're functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought cross or annoyed." She added full stops are now being used to emphasise functioninsinceremessagenecessaryobviousquitesingletechnologytextthought words.
