Ways social media has affected our vocabulary

Beginning of era of social media has been an end of intelligence for some people and apparently they all decided to hijack internet with their great vocabulary and made internet a platform for people to laugh on them. Here is how it goes down the hill from here. P.S – If you are one of these, don’t feel offended and try to grab a lesson. 


1.   The math talker - "K f9 LL TLK 2 U 2918 W8 F4 ME B4 U SLP" like who has the time to switch between alphabets and numbers but not enough time to write properly the way normal humans can understand. Like are you speaking English or maths because equation of your words makes no sense.

                                        
2.  Short form addict - I can see that you are really busy that's why you wrote "gud nyt" rather than "goodnight" but you had enough time to write "Byeee" with those extra e's.



3.  LOL ROFL struggle - Okay, I get it that it's really cool to write the most famous short forms like LOL but you could have just laughed in real and wrote that it was funny but no it's really important to create some confusion between laugh out loud and lots of love.


4.  Caption stress - From birthday countdown to hanging out captions all I can see these days is "my lifelines, my bitches, bros, my love, my cuties". How about writing something sensible next time rather than something that hurts everyone else's brain and makes them question your vocabulary.



5.  Cussing without any reason – Internet memes have made use of cussing words normal without any sort of “#%@&” as earlier people used to say “F@#k” rather than being straight up.
