Honestly, I kind of understand why the older generation was afraid of using the internet, they saw this lingo while trying to fix a leaky pipe on a Yahoo Answers thread and said "not my worldwideweb!"
I didn't talk this incredibly stupid and "unique" on chats during AOL and MSN days but by the time I got to highschool I realized I needed to stop with all the emojis and emphasis in text form because nobody knows how nor cares to decypher what you're saying anyway.
I saw this mom rocking these knockoff LCD backlit Gameboys for her kids with cheaper plastic and buttons with a hundred games to play and still thought to myself "nah, my childhood was still better."
In my small touristy town the people in charge of the town are all in on the rental property game so they push hard against new policies about zoning and hotel regulations on homes. My uncle is doing it and I know if he was audited be fucked seven ways to Sunday.
I agree. The minimalism speaks louder than the accents AND fonts they change it to. The person in charge of that department must know when a good thing doesn't need too much of a change. Despite it being changed bi-annually, lol.
