    The different context means it’s not a literary communication, but notation for casual speech.

    More script or score than Strunk and White.

    In that mode, punctuation is performative, and with a period after one word you should weigh heavily on a grim tone of voice, or perhaps sarcasm.

    As an old fart and former editor, context is key: there are many modes of expression, and the rules vary.
