    Now? It’s been happening since cell phones became common. It started as lazy typing (or just bad spelling) and it just became a thing shortly after.

    Any word that can be shortened was shortened, like ur example. If punctuation isn’t understood, it’s left out. The worst part of this is that spelling and grammar checkers are “smart”, so they integrate slang as “correct” and probably type mistakes for people automatically.
