i fixed the question. for people who do so, is it because your native language does so, like french? or is it because of stylistic choice?

like “hello ! how are you ?” i know a polish speaker who does that

    Or they use commas instead of full stops for ellipses,

        I have fought the urge to do that many times. For me, it feels a bit softer than the ellipses. But i try to restrain myself lol

      Apparently there was some school of teaching for a while, where the teachers were emphasizing getting your ideas down on paper quickly, without regard for spelling, spacing, paragraph-ing, punctuation, verb tense, etc. I ran across it when I was trying to find out why there was this generation of fanfic writers who had interesting concepts but couldn’t write to any kind of standard - and who were extremely resistant to any suggestions. Some of the concepts sounded really interesting, too, but it was entirely too much work to try to parse the story.
