What would have happened if he completed the spelling? Will the phone melt? Will Trump resign? Can’t we just spell the way they taught us in school? To think that school fees are even more expensive nowadays. Everything is now abbreviated like its reducing exchange rates, now I have to read a 10 word message for over 40min to understand what the person is trying to say. ‘Watsup’ ‘Cme 2 ma ous lets ve drinks’ R u cming nau’ ‘ve bin mining 2 tel u dis’ habaaaaaa!!!!!
