People typing whatever is the latest fad, such as "rn', " tbh", etc.
"Latest fad"
"Shorthand created during the time cell phones were becoming ubiquitous about 20yr ago"
Are you like, a greenland shark that has been alive since 1865 so your concept of time is on an entirely different scale than the rest of us making 20yr ago "the latest fad" as if it were 2 months for us?
Bad take. Been saying rn and tbh for years. Communicating isn't a fad imo (see what I did there). By that logic, lol, lmao, etc are just fads too.
