Cry-typing

An informal, archaic method of online communication in which a person, via a social media platform or SMS text, expresses something, whilst conveying significant sadness or distress, typically signified by the excessive and incorrect usage of commas, semicolons and intentional typos throughout the message; this occurs typically to the extent that the message is nearly incomprehensible, entirely.

Historically, this means of communication was predominantly used by Tumblr and twitter users, 4Channers and other various types of online degenerates, and is outdated for its extremely obnoxious nature.

Instance of cry-typing:

Girlfriend: babe my plant just died ugh

Boyfriend, trying to smash: o::;mg bae,,,, n;o....., that plan;;;t meea nnt;;;; the wo:;;;,,,rld to m;;;e.......

When you're crying so hard, you can't type properly. This is usually exaggerated to make whoever you're talking to feel bad.

Boyfriend: I think we need to take a break.
Girlfriend: wati arey ou brakeing up wwithme righ now?
Boyfriend: Are you really crying or are you just cry-typing?
