"omg lol like i saw this thing lol idk wut it wuz but like i totally fell in luv lol with it and now like lol i cant like lol stop thinkin bout it lol n i think i mite go buy it lol just cuz it looks cool lol u no wut i mean lol"
I noticed that i also write "cuz" but that's just cuz it's what people say. No one says "because" for something they are saying quickly. And "cause" is another word so abbreviating "because" into "cause" doesn't make sense. So that's my excuse for that. My excuse for "so" is that my best friend starts ALL of her first sentences with "Ok, so..." and now I have picked up on it and say that too. My excuse for "like" is that I'm from California and don't even know I'm saying it. Just like "um". I've been around people all of my life that say "um" and "like" as fillers when they are thinking. So basically, when I use these words, it's because that's how I talk. If you know my voice and know how I talk, you can hear my voice in the way I type.
The "jk" I mentioned earlier is usually just for texts. Since there are only a certain amount of characters allowed in a single text, "just kidding" takes up too many so it is condensed to "jk" and I try not to use it too much. I also feel that if you don't say it in real life, you shouldn't text it. For example, no one, when laughing says "laughing out loud, laughing out loud!" No. They actually laugh. So I use "hahaha" or "ahaha" or "bahaha" cuz that is the closest one can get to writing what laughing sounds like. As a matter of fact, I hate "lol". I think it is the most stupid thing ever...along with the other texting acronyms that are longer than real words (like "lmao" or "rofl"). I cringe when people type those things.
Summary: I don't like like the typical texting lingo unless that's how you really talk, and if you really talk like that, you should learn some social skills or talk special speech classes. =)
