Yep, about three decades’ worth of EU novels established droids communicating to fighter pilots through text interface, so they were the ones ignoring precedent, not you.
THANK YOU
I knew I didn’t make that up. Don’t get me wrong, I’m shit at research and am really good at forgetting where I heard things, but I knew I didn’t make that up.
So, it’s movie expedience. And plausibly, BB could have been translating those beeps to text which Poe was reading, and Poe could still say “Happy beeps” because he categorizes all BB’s communications as “beeps”, so it does make sense. In-universe. If you twist it enough.
Anyway. Thank you.
