In the same vein, it makes a huge difference in a chat conversation if you finish your sentence with a dot or not. Writing something like:

I’ll see you there.

Has a very different vibe than:

I’ll see you there

Where the first one, with a dot, would signal the sender is mad or impatient while the latter is neutral.

I’ll see you there…

This one however… I’d also assume the sender is impatient because I just told them I’m gonna be late, or something bad happened („there“ being a funeral for example), or it’s unclear whether we will both arrive (a heavy storm might be coming, possibly blocking roads).
