I’ve just seen something that made me, all at once, wince, laugh and roll my eyes.
I’m currently a member of just two telegram groups and in one of them, a lady replied to a post with,
“ty vm…” i.e. Thank you very much.
I honestly thought “Oh, come on. How lazy.”

As clichéd as it sounds, you really can do better.
