'Sent from my iPhone'
This is merely a built-in email signature. Serves two purposes: encourages you to use a custom signature (or none if you prefer), and to advertise the iPhone. Maybe some people use it to brag about owning an iPhone, but I think the majority of emails with 'Sent from my iPhone' at the bottom come from people not familiar with the concept of 'email signature or never gave the text at the bottom much thought.
Despite what Grammarly will try to tell you, it is not meant to excuse typing on a phone.

Periods mean anger? So I guess that means "Good night. I love you." would be interpreted as "GOOD FREAKIN' NIGHT WHORE! I HATE YOUR GUTS AND I WISH YOU WERE DEAD!!!" Darn it, and I've been texting my wife "I love you." for years.
Honestly, I think people would simply get used to it. I too am a fan of formal grammar and appreciate when fellow texters use proper grammar when they text me as I do when I text them. One of my most jarring texting experiences was when my mom finally got a cell phone and suddenly I'm getting texts from her like "R u comin over 2day?" And I'm like "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY MOM... PERIOD!"

It is definitely a "thing" and well known in at least my generation.

I'm typing with Grammarly right now. I stopped using it. It needs a 3D Touch cursor. Not some dumb one either, one just like the native keyboard.
It’s not that i couldn’t do that. It’s just why should I have to? Same with sticker packs for that matter. Even having a folder of junk is rather obnoxious.
Some articles/discussions about this should be of some help:

It certainly is. I had no idea about this until a few months ago (and I'm a grammar/apostrophe freak, always used to use them even with dumb phones). Checking with some friends confirmed the idea: if you look back at your texts (or those from others) you might be surprised how often people add a full stop to a text when they're stressed or angry, and don't when they're not.
Actually, I installed GBoard and have been able to delete the app. The keyboard still shows up in my list under settings. I can enable and disable as desired with no app icon to clutter my homescreen
It's a GOOD thing (Steve Jobs' voice). This just bolstered what I absolutely love about iOS, it's built in dictionary & thesaurus.
Doesn't MacOS/OSX have a similar function within? Something where typing run-off paragraphs and sentences can be offered in a more concise manner?
LMAO! The timing of both your posts right after one another is just sublime.
Downloading this keyboard app as I know I need it.
