  I don’t think anyone who ever texted like that is still under 25 anymore. It rapidly dropped off around 2010 as smartphones with full keyboards became widespread, and not using full words was a signal that you hadn’t got one yet. That was fifteen years ago, so to still be under 25, you’d have had to be texting people while aged under ten, and people didn’t give preteens phones back then.

    You’re being pedantic.

    Kids these days 100% use similar shorthand, and often think proper capitalization, spelling, grammar, and punctuation are “too ChatGPT” or “aggressive.”

      not even kids. i’m in my 40s and my 30s friends think my texts w/ complete sentences are ‘too demanding and aggressive’.
