Ever seen communication between people under 30? Looks like code, and I have noticed it between themselves in the professional ranks. I once even had to counsel subordinate on the use of "teh" and "b4" in emails. Very sad, the dumbing down of our society.
That’s got nothing to do with the lack of using cursive. That’s got to do with the use of spell checkers and texting. As life gets more convenient and self correcting certain skills evaporate. Most of the population can’t drive a stick either.
What is “teh”?
Your predecessors lamented the loss of ‘thee’ and ‘thou’ as well as ‘thy’ in general communication as well. :P
‘Teh’ is a common typo. I won’t bother trying to defend ‘b4’ because that annoys me as well.
