To get the rage with people shortening words?

[Tdetfrgrgf]

When they're typed? I keep seeing it everywhere.

For example:

t'internet instead of just typing out 'the'
Zackly instead of exactly
Dat instead of that

Many more examples like this, and they're particularly used by a 'friend' I have on Facebook who is apparently a writer. Just why? It drives me absolutely crackers.

It's quite funny bringing it up on this site, considering most topics are abbreviated. I don't have a clue what people are talking about until I Google it 😆

"get the rage" , arrrgghhhh esp from s'one complaining about proper use of English

I hate pic. Just grates on me.

@ilovesooty

Prolly.

That irritates me.

Prolly isn't an abbreviation, though. It's sheer ignorance, caused by (young) people reading so little that they have never seen the world 'probably' written down.

No, I haven’t. I’m in the North. Never been more grateful to be.

Well don't worry, it will be coming. They've probably heard it on EastEnders or some owt.

Just checked and my ‘friend’ is from Hastings. Maybe that is the trouble.

Probs the prob, innit?

I read plenty and quite like prolly. Tho I prefer imma.

I was having this discussion with DD, DS, DS2, DBIL, DB, DN, DN2, DSIL and DP just the other day. We HATE people who can’t be bothered to type out the proper word. Sheer laziness grrr.

William Brown. I've got Martins Jarvis in my head saying things like "zackly" and "prolly" and "s'not fair"

Isn’t ‘zackly’ from undateables where one of the people being matched has Asperger’s kept pronouncing it repeatedly like that ‘ZAC-lee’ instead of ‘eggzactly’ ?

It’s a good thing you horrible lot aren’t in charge of language then isn’t it?

Prolly isn’t just ignorant people who can’t read despite what a previous poster claims with no evidence.
I know several well read folks who use it, one because the couldn’t pronounce probably as a child and it stuck and the rest see it as any other slang

That’s the things with language, it belongs to everyone that uses it and they don’t have to do it in a way that pleases you.

You can if you want to

Just why?

I hate this sentence, OP. It’s not grammatically correct.

Do you see that anyone can annoy anyone?

t'internet instead of just typing out 'the' - this one's a joke quoting that stand up who everyone loved a while back. My parents do this.

Some of these are due to accent. Try living in Liverpool, DAT is an actual word.

When they are typed

Nothing wrong with this, it's a perfectly correct contraction.

But if you're talking about the fam, or something equally annoying, that's different.

Evs. Idk. Well bare.
