You do realize that this is /c/90s_memes right? In the 90’s people didnt abbreviate every word longer than 5 characters.

Are you forgetting SMS speak? People used to have 160 characters or less

Just saying it doesn’t work as a reason to abbreviate everything in this meme. 🤷‍♀️

These TVs coexisted with abbreviated texting in Sweden
