We went from Jan 1 to Feb 9th in just 15 minutes.🙈 Weeks seem to go by in the blink of an eye 👁 and our conversations are getting shorter day by day. How does it affect the way we speak? Using full-fledged words has become a bit passé (P: /ˈpɑːseɪ/ M: out of style) The shortening of words (or clipping) is commonplace. The English language is full of clipped words, which usually emerge as time-savers ⏳ in both speaking and writing. Check out these 5 clippings you can't do without in a modern world:
💛Deets - details Example: At first you seemed hesitant to spill deets on your personal life. What changed?
💛Skedge - schedule Example: I have a hectic skedge for the next few days.
💛Sesh - session Example: You and me need a big catch-up sesh over coffee!
💛Natch - natural, naturally Example: There were no police around, natch.
💛On the reg - on the regular, regularly Example: I hit up that spot on the reg. What do you think of this trend? Yay or nay?
