I dislike text speak, putting U instead of You, shortening words missing out vowels, changing letters, or writing in Chav speak.
But abbreviations like LOL don't bother me.
I think sometimes written words & comments can be taken in different ways so adding a laugh at the end shows it was meant it jest.

I use OMG, rarely wtf or btw.
I use lmao too. It’s just quicker.
I despise text speak though, such as “Wuu2, wbu, u ok, bby, bbe, sxc” and so on.
Different generations and all, there are probably plenty things us younger people do that annoy the older people & vice versa. Just the way it is! |

And emojis!
There was a comment from an older woman on Facebook that went viral because she was giving her condolences to someone & put the emoji laughing faces, assuming they were crying faces lol!
My mom does similar, she has to ask me what some of them mean or what they’re doing, she’s learning a bit now! |

I don't mind most of the acronyms but hate text speak like 'U' etcetera.
However, for me, it's daft swear words, like cockwomble or feck, that really grind my gears.
WTF? Just say fuck, LOL

Some I don't mind and use myself like BTW, WTF and others but textspeak like u, b4, l8r and others just grate.
The worst I heard though was someone actually say "obvs" out loud as part of a spoken conversation - I cringed inwardly at that one!! |

I think sometimes people start saying some things like obvs, lol, YOLO ironically, as they are cringey, and then they start slipping into their vocabulary when it's not intended! |

'Bants' is the one that makes me cringe. |

I find if I write ha it looks like I'm being insincere.

That's why you have to double or even triple up on the "ha's" |

I use emojis too much, but I try to convey the context of my messages with them as just text can make it seem like you're either being cold or that you're being serious when you're actually just being funny or sarcastic. |

That's worse.
I tend to just use an emoji. Which is the lesser of the evils for me. |

Why is it childish to show in text form that you are either being funny or find something amusing? Chill the fuck out. |

"I've always hated it, especially since lol, pmsl, lmao and most other abbreviations are of phrases that nobody ever says ever"
No but they are elements of communication that are missed from the written word. If we were have a conversation face to gimpmask you might be able to see when I found something a bit amusing (lol), very amusing (pmsl) or fucking hilarious (lmfao).
With much of today's communication taking written or text form it's necessary to convey the unspoken elements. |
