Rants And Unavoidable Controversies

Text Talk

Lmao.

I see no reason as to why people apply this to books. It's in no way professional.

i.e

I was at dominos and suddenly I spotted my bff, Perry. "Omg per!!!!!" I squealed.

"What it do girl!!!!" She replied.

"I missed u! ;-;"

"I know XD"

"WTH PER!!!! OMG"

"JK I missed u 2 boo. You know you're my slime."

"Today's going to be lit. Lyk hella lit. No cap. Brett promised 2 take me ice skating. It's acc really sweet. He said it's an underrated thing and I wus lyk, 'fax boo, rt>>>' he's so sweet."

"On God Bridget!!! Slat Slat!!!"

"YKTV Per<3"

Fin.

Need I remind you that this is not a texting conversation. These are two people who are physically seeing eachother.

What is the point of this? Do they actually say JK AND XD out loud? Letter by letter? Is it so hard to describe a decent expression to go with the sentence? What the hell is XD all about!

It's even more irritating when the time line is set in a different era. Early 2000's, who the hell would know what YKTV means?

And do you really believe all your readers know some of these slangs?

This is honestly ridiculous. Please stop writing this way.

Informative;

What it do - what's up.

XD - some kind of laugh or giggle. (I don't really know how to explain it.)

WTH- what the hell.

JK - just kidding.

Slime - close friend.

Lit - fun.

Hella - very.

No cap - No lies. (Cap means lie)

Acc - actually.

Fax - facts.

Rt - right. (On tweeter though, it means retweet)

>>> - a form of agreement.

<<< - a form of disagreement.

On God - honestly, Like, I know right.

Slat - slime love all the time. (Love for close friend)

YKTV - you know the vibe - you get me.

These are all real slangs, I didn't make them up.
