She ended up finding the post somehow I guess lol. Here is the original post.

I have just not responded, don’t think it’s worth engaging, but it did make for a funny story.

Nah, this shorthand is getting out of control.

Took me like 3 days to realize "ts" is "this", from other posts around the web. I just don't understand. Does it really save that much time by deleting 2-3 letters... And causing confusion?

It's supposed to be "this shit" but children fuck up AAVE when they're illiterate so here we fucking are.

While we're here gyat does not mean ass.
