My favorite ultra-contraction is “Imma”😂 It’s 4 full words contracted down to 4 letters

algospeak is fascinating from a linguistic pov but ngl it does feel a little dystopian, esp since we’re getting to a point where it’s acc kinda hard to interpret sometimes

We literally still collectively use those early internet acronyms for words and phrases such as “lol” or “lmao” or even keyboard emotes like “:)” or “:p”

My one small bane with unalive is that it always feels soulless and devaluing to the actual topic it’s describing

ive always found it fascinating how we went from saying el-oh-el, to making it a proper word. now we say lol (lawl) just as a normal every day word

my mom will only say “unalive” in in-person conversation instead of just like, the actual word, and it’s a weird thing that drives me up the wall

I was in class (were reading Fahrenheit 451) and a kid in my class un ironically said “unalive”. I love it

It’s fascinating to see how language progresses due to social demands. This isn’t regression, this is evolution.

My default nickname is from the 1337 era. I have to explain it more often every year.

for me it always brings Cockney Rhyming Slang to mind, especially once things have taken two to three steps from the original.

Can you talk about the semi-universal hand movement people use to ask for the cheque, particularly when they don’t speak the language?

the funny thing is most of the time tiktok doesnt even censor videos with certain words but creators censor them themselves

I think the main probpem is WHAT words are changing and why. unalive is a doublespeak/softening of a heavy topic with many implications in context-

I think a lot of algospeak is actually genuinely harmful in the sense that it implicitly makes light of serious issues
