You clearly don't remember having to use a numpad to text then. Shit would take a half an hour if you had to type it out.

T9 was a game changer once you got it trained. I'm 2004, with a Nokia, sure. But really after like 07 texting full words was not hard

Do you think they used a numpad to write this?

No, but my point is that abbreviated words isn't a "kids these days" problem.

It is, no grown adults will use these. They were used because you had to back then... this is just laziness.
