Do you use "Ebonic-like" shortened words for texting/posting to social media?

is this an ebonic thing or just a twitter short form thing? I always assumed it was more due to limited characters to type with and going for speed over quality.

Nope, refuse to do that

SOB, yeah. Thank God thats not as prevalent. Why people purposely choose to talk/type this way is beyond me.

Hell no. But I think "fixin" is a whole different argument. I think that is a South LA usage question more than a shorthand typing thing.

Nope.

Nothing Ebonic about this. It's as cracker as they come.

I'll never understand typing like that, it actually requires more effort to type like that.

People who say u, lol, or be when it should be is should be ignored. Z for a plural is idiotic.

Since the release of Blackberry there is no real need for text shorthand. I understood with the old phones with number keys only but now it's laziness
Posted on 9/12/15 at 10:41 am to tiggerthetooth
I did when I was a kid.
