First, Jimmy addresses the ever-controversial period in a text.

"The subtext of [the text with a period] means either: 'I thought we were going out just the two of us,' or 'I don't care if Dave comes,' or maybe it means 'I don't like Dave.' You don't know!"

Next, Jimmy dives into some more subtle differences.

"If you got this, you can safely assume there will be a container of milk in your refrigerator when this person gets home."

"'K' is the text equivalent of rolling your eyes at someone."

"'Yup.' translates to 'Oh, I'll get the milk, but why the hell can't you get the milk?"

"'Yup.' should never be confused with 'Yep.' yep is okay, yep is friendly. But if that 'e' changes to a 'u,' then that person probably wants to put you into a woodchipper."

And worst of all: 'Ha.'

"'Ha.' says: 'I acknowledge what you said was supposed to be funny. It wasn't.'"
