  • But the fact that the majority (or perhaps less than half now) of the responses literally prove the point I am trying to make proves my point downvotes or not.

    You have to remember the people who would literally unironically make such a post that proves my post are the densest of the dense.

    Most sexists, while dense, are less dense than a black hole and would not prove my point for me under such a post.










  • Text speak mostly came from typing on dumb phone number pads to enter text. Like if you wanted to type “hi” you would have to enter “4-4 pause 4-4-4” As you might expect 5 putting presses with a pause between some of them just to say “hi” got painful. Thus the shortening.

    Text messages were always charged per message. But each message was limited to 160 ascii characters or less if you were using other encodings. You could send 1 character or 160 characters but it cost 20 cents (at least where I grew up) either way.

    This is all separate from l33t speak which is a whole different thing.
