People abbreviating random words when there's literally no need to.
I got absurdly upset over someone abbreviating information as "inf." recently.
watch out for infosec.
I feel like some people are just too lazy to speak.
I'm trying to figure out what you're even referring to. The only thing I see abbrebiated here is TV. But TV is the default way to say television even in person and has been my entire life. At least it is here in the US. Is it different elsewhere?
I was responding to the "What's the most boomer complaint you have?" - not complaining specifically about the abbreviations in the screenshot.
Ah. That makes way more sense.
People making contractions when there is literally no need to.
I known'nt what you mean.
