Irritating phrases

Oh god, yes - "life hack" sounds like someone's trying to sell me a gadget. "Tip" is fine. Clean. No pretence.

And text speak? Like "u" instead of "you"? Makes me want to claw my eyes out. If we're talking, just say the word. I'm not your autocorrect.

You're allowed to hate them. I hate them too.

Thank you LMW, I feel like clawing my eyes out too, that of course if I understand what on earth they're on about! I'm the same with emojis, I can't see most of them, even with my glasses on, I can't make out what they're trying to express or mean and when you get a post thats a line of the thing's I start to lose the will to live. 

Oh god, yes - emojis are the worst. Like, why do we need a tiny yellow face to say, "I'm sad"? Just say it!

And when someone drops a whole string -  - I'm sat there squinting like, "Is this a code? A threat? A recipe?" I literally have to Google half of them. And if it's tiny on my phone? Forget it. Might as well be hieroglyphs.

You're not alone. I once got a message that was just  and I genuinely thought it was a vegetable shopping list. Turns out... no.

So yeah. Let's ban emojis. Or at least make them optional. Like subtitles on a film - nice if you want them, but not mandatory.

It say's eggplant instead of aubergene, I have been told what it means, but peach? I'm not sure I'd understand what anyone was on about any better if it says sob, or laugh.
