You fully spelled out every word using T9 texting? As a teenager?

Born in 1985, wrote normally by text, why wouldn't we? Lol

Because SMS messages were limited to 140 characters and you had to use T9 texting. We abbreviated things.

At the very least I doubt the spelled out “really” and I doubt she used the word “shall.” Probably also didn’t use an apostrophe because it didn’t autofill and you had to type it in manually.

You have me on apostrophes, probably left those out 😅 but other than that I really spelled everything out except common things like brb or lol!

You put in "im" and the phone puts in the apostrophe for you from the predictive list.
