I have a daughter who refuses to use 'text speak'(or txtspk) She insists on using the whole word even when texting, when I point out she could be regarded as pedantic she replies" I like to use proper English!" My hates are "innit" " whoss name " and lol . ;D Now who's pedantic?? ;D
It seems to me that the younger generation have managed to chop the English language down to just a few words, you probably know a few,but the common words I hear are
Like
Err
You Know
I forgot
