People like to blame ridiculous abbreviations on modern tiktok rotted attention spans, but making dumb shortcuts has actually been a thing for ages with texting lol. I found my moms old planner from 2006 and it had an entire dictionary just for different abbreviations, and a lot of them were really dumb. Some I remember were ianal = I am not a lawy...... reply
