^That’s a little harsh. They are kids using the devices our generation created and sold to them – and they’re doing what kids of every generation do - create a language that annoys and baffles their parents.

Last note: in our kids’ schools, phones have to be kept in lockers or they’ll be confiscated.

orsum could be awesome. wz = was. rofl = rolling on the floor laughing ll = to?. dy = day?. brb = be right back. cul8tr = see you later.

AARGH!

IMHO = In my humble opinion FYA = For your amusement GL2U = Good luck to you WYWH = wish you were here YYSSW = yeah yeah sure sure whatever IDK = I don’t know JK = just kidding ORLY = oh really SIG2R = Sorry I got to run L2G = love to go

Sid: “Awesome! was rolling on the floor laughing all day! Be right back, see you later!”
