You seem to understand it pretty well so it must be an effective form of communication, at least.
I am amused by young people thinking a full stop is too abrupt,
so they leave gaps between words instead.

Another hugely irritating phrase: 'drops', as in 'his album drops this Friday' or 'The TV series dropped last week' or 'Her novel dropped today'. Language moves on, but it's supposed to find BETTER words, not worse ones! How is 'drop' an improvement on 'release' or 'publish'??? And it tends to be used by older journalists who just sound desperate to sound trendy. It really, really gets on my nerves!
Does "Drop" mean it falling in the charts or it's being released ? I tend to avoid modern trends and yes I wore flannel shirts long before the hipsters did.
Fossil journalists are dire and they love olding on; whilst younger journalists are so biased and stick to their narrative. (Fake news}
I'm sure society is getting dumber by the day; I cringe when I hear today youth's try to talk in Califorinan slang/drawl.
