In the past month,period harassment(マルハラスメント) continues to be a topic of discussion on the Japanese Internet and on TV shows.

so-called“Period Harassment”refers to the opinions of Japanese young people when using instant messaging software.DotHave a negative impression and feel that sentences with periods are cold and emotionless. Once you receive a message with a period, you may even think that the other person is angry with you. However, because middle-aged and elderly people prefer to add periods at the end of sentences, a serious communication gap has formed between generations!

Fuji TV’s morning information program“Mezamashi TVWhen I was investigating this topic recently, I discovered that in addition to periods, there are two other things that have a huge gap…

However, middle-aged and elderly people are very accustomed to switching to“Red Exclamation Mark”This pattern makes young people quite disgusted!

When typing an exclamation mark, Japanese young people will not convert it into a red exclamation mark pattern.
