Are people getting stupider?

Yeah me too, but not in an academic setting.

@Nebula exactly. Most professors I encountered in school would deduct points for text-eze

@Nebula right! my text favorites are "whaddya" and variations on "izzat"

@silkandlace just not in an academic or professional setting

@SW-User exactly, text-speak is for text, not academia!

@silkandlace I think the point of this post is that she's talking about academic settings. Personally I hate text-eze. It's ghetto af. It's not hard to type out whole words.

@SW-User agreed

@SW-User What college do you all attend that anyone would use "text-ese" in academic writing? 😂

Good on the professors for punishing it, but I didn't know anyone to even attempt to use it when I was in college not that long ago...
