Before t9, this could save time. After t9, it was needless and tired. In my circle, now, we call that kid-pidgin.
T9 was a mid-'90s thing. We are now closer to a 3c warming target than we are to pre-T9 texting.

… Do you read any social media with Gen z? Shorthand is alive and well, it just changed how it’s shortened.
