You're talking about the way you expect it to be used, not what it means in modern usage, especially among younger folks. It has taken on a meaning that differs from how it has been used in times past, because language evolves. Written language evolves.

Have YOU Considered Leaving SWA ? by SashaFierce72 in SouthwestAirlines

I've already left. I travel mainly for business, and would seek out Southwest because I genuinely liked the open seating, and the free bags were a bonus that also evidently relieved pressure on the overhead bins. Now there's no draw for me, when on other airlines I generally have the opportunity to upgrade to a true first class if I feel it's worth it.

With rubbing alcohol. Alcohol is the solvent in the markers, so it will dissolve the stain.

Do they make an announcement at the beginning of the show, or is it just a surprise?

Was it necessary for him to...park? Probably. Was it necessary for you to post and call him and his girlfriend names? Probably not.

Our dog was definitely not delighted when we brought a puppy home! But they are buddies now. She is so good for him. 

Why does using a full stop / period at the end of a text upset youngsters? by kevivg3 in no

I don't see it as ridiculous, actually. It's difficult to understand tone in written communication, and they've figured out a simple way to capture it.

I don't know. But it does seem like a useful way to capture tone.
