Something I've noticed is that a lot of people on the Internet end up incorporating really weird things into normal conversations, like using "ppl" all the time instead of people, or putting trigger warnings for literally everything. Why people can't just speak formally is beyond me.

The Internet is terrible. When you're on it you have to be as tough as possible, which sounds really corny and stupid but it's true if you want to avoid being completely shocked by all of the crazy stuff there is. Now, I'm not sure I use the right word there, but I really don't know how to describe it. It's like, trying your best not to react too much to something.

I got jumpscared one time cause I forgot to double-check lightshot link (it DOES NOT start with P N R)

Yeah, I understand it's possible for very specific things to trigger people, but it's a little bit silly for people to be able to predict these things. If people where to attempt to create trigger warnings for any potential triggers in their post, it would likely take up a good fraction of the post, using a beeeg amount of space. Perhaps this is why people use weird abbreviations to replace words, to save the space that they just used.
