Never viewed it like that but it's so true. And add text speak - and sorry folks I do use it - and we're going backward not forward 🤔

Some of the text speak has its background in early radio communication https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code_abbreviations but that was for a purpose only so much you could do with dots and dashes and also with the standard 160 characters in a text message . But now most use smartphones why is there the need for poor communication .

Interesting @Bambino & those posts above  ^  ^  ^ ... I hadn't thought of it like that before ... but ... you're right ... I text generally in order to be made understood eg I find it difficult to read when people use i for I & say tommo for tomorrow & c u  as in see you ... to me it shows the quality or lack of education, but I do use eg att = at the / that time & atm = at the moment & aka = also known as & an old one from my office days:- asap = as soon as possible or pdq = pretty damn quick as the shop floor foremen would say ... I do use emoji rainbow

@AnonymousI dislike txtspk (lol) Though abbreviations such as e.g. a.k.a and asap don't fall into that category.

I still use a lot of medical abbreviations when talking to friends from that profession. A few examples

p.r.n, stat, t.d.s, q.d.s, b.d.

One type of abbreviation I use a lot (and didn't realise it was confusing to others) 2/52 (two weeks), 3/12 (three months) So we have another language of our own. Derived from Latin, supposedly a 'dead' language. wink
