It started with just lazily dropping 'g's from the end of words. When the internet and texting came, we were flooded with acronyms like brb, lol, jk, imho. When emojis came, they came like hieroglyphics, demolishing not just words, but even letters as they went. Frfr, no cap
I mean... It's not uniform exactly. Some stuff got longer. There's easy examples we all can think of, like how "anecdote" became "lived experience", stuff like that. What are some other ones in that vein, words that became phrases or even just longer than they were?
