And you’d get these messages like
yo wr gttg tgthr @ 3 w/billy- whn u b hr?And you’d have to try to decode what the hell it meant
“Yo, we’re getting together at 3:00 PM with Billy, when will you be here?” seems easy enough from ur example :)
We have the benefit of decades of parsing this sort of message. 25 years ago, this was like another language.
Especially when individuals or friend groups would make up their own abbreviations for their own slang, and you might have no goddamn idea what something meant
So old people have their own secret language that young people can’t decipher?
Hey, who are you calling old?
For once, we have the upper hand.
I used to be able to type messages on these without even looking
I just checked and I can still type them into the air
