There are also people who don't know how to type multiline text. So, they type "hi", send it and immediately continue writing their actual message, possibly with multiple parts separated into several messages instead of single multiline message. So, they destruct their recipients by doing this, since one needs to wait until the whole message is written before starting answering it.
I send multi line messages all the time and I frequently accidentally hit enter before I’m done. Then I have to rapidly make edits and save them, hoping everyone sees the frequent updates and realizes messages is still a work in progress. There has to be a better way.

I've gotten in the habit of typing any long messages in my text editor first and them pasting them into Slack for this exact reason.
somewhat guilty because I do that with texts with people I speak to often too LOL but yeah not the best practice
I used to get emails where the entire message was on the subject line. It's funny now when I think about it.
What wasn't funny was having my actual email submitted to chain letters or copied to all their contacts with every email they sent.
Training on the basics is a necessary good:-)
For real though, I've started to put this and https://dontasktoask.com/ in my bios lol
