AIBU to think ty instead of Thank You is lazy?

[MissBattleaxe]

That's it really. If you're grateful for something, just write thank you or thanks. Writing ty means "I can't be arsed to give you more than a nanosecond and I'm too busy for manners."

I see this a lot on FB and in emails and texts and I can't help thinking "Nobody's so busy they can't write a word!"

What's the world coming to? I'm hoiking a heck of a bosom here.

I just think that the odd "ty" on Facebook will transmit into real life until everyone starts saying "Tee why" to each other. A simple "Thanks" will do!

When we're too busy to says thanks or thank you, we're all doomed! It's the social niceties that oil the wheels of civilisation.

TVM and ty just do not mean the same as a thanks or a thank you. It's all becoming a part of a society that is losing touch with communication skills and social pleasantries.
