Back in the early days of texting, this saved time, and potentially money as well since you paid for each 144 (or was it 160) characters.

And in the modern era there’s generally no practical reason to use “u” for “you” and so forth anymore, and doing so just makes you seem weirdly lazy, elderly, childish, and really out of touch all at once.

Oh. Ok. Ig I am “weirdly lazy” then. No harm in that I suppose.

You’re only saving two letters, while also sounding childish when “u” type like that… there’s just no need to type like that anymore.

Ok. But I like typing like that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
