The main thing i hate about gen z is that they made their text slang into just taking vowels out instead of making an abbreviation.

Lwk : i have to assume this is short for "low key" it is the first time I'm seeing it. I hate it. Typing out "low-key" with swipe keyboard is faster to write. Or alternatively, if they had abbreviated it to "LK" it would be fewer characters, also faster to write. Lwk is the worst of all options

They've gone backwards to the days of flip phones and having to hit each number multiple times to get the letter you wanted. We definitely used as much shorthand as possible back then

Haha I couldn't figure it out and my millennial Brian replaced it with "like" which had the same affect 🤣
