I keep seeing the initials "ig" in comments. They clearly don't mean "Instagram". What does "ig" mean then?

  I don’t know why people can’t just write the full words, it’s not like it takes any time to write “I guess”.

      Still takes a moment to understand what they mean, and leads to confusion like the poster experienced. Doesn’t cost anything to write the full words! Maybe I’m just getting old!

      What are the odds that most of the users of these obscure abbreviations have never read a book?

    I tried the link icon, and it got us what we see in the post. I’ll try the Fediverse icon next time. Thank you!

      saving SMS credit for a decade

      At least two decades! I’d say this trend goes back to the late 90s – think chatspeak on AOL chatrooms, ICQ, etc. I didn’t get my first mobile 'til '02, but SMS was invented in '92. People were probably doing this as soon as SMS was available on their phones.
