Text Speak

/ˈtɛkst spiːk/noun
ELI5 mode

Text speak is the abbreviated, informal language style born from digital messaging, featuring shortcuts like 'LOL' for 'laugh out loud' to save time and characters. It has revolutionized everyday communication by making interactions faster and more casual, but it's also been blamed for blurring the lines between formal and informal writing in our hyper-connected world.
