Top 10 Words That Shouldn't be Shortened
As a lazy person, I don't think there's anything wrong with using shortcuts when it comes to typing words. However, some of these sound ridiculous outside the internet and text messages. Here are ten shortened words that shouldn't be used in your daily life.Note: I'm not saying you must avoid using these, but these are just some shortened words I wouldn't consider using if I were you.
A teacher of mine told me that when she asked her class to pass their papers, a student passed one that said: "Sorry, miss, I forgot to bring my ass today." How would you forget to bring your ass?

It just sounds weird. What does bae even mean? I'm not sure if it has the same meaning as babe or baby.
Supposedly, this is short for Before Anyone Else.
Was babe too long?
When most people hear jelly, they think of the spread that goes with peanut butter. The word jelly has the same number of syllables as jealous anyway, and the number of letters doesn't change much, so why shorten it?
Both sound tasty (call me weird), but the word jealous should stay.
Sounds like jelly beans.
This is laziness at its finest. It doesn't really change much. It still has two syllables, and only one letter is removed.
It's just one letter removed.
I'm sorry, but I'm thinking of Randomator when I see this.

Don't say this ever.
Totes just sounds dumb.
Something about this word makes me want to rip my hair out.
Seriously. The syllables are just the same!

It doesn't really sound as relaxing.
Awks! Awks! Sounds like a bird's mating call.
It just doesn't sound pleasant to me.
Don't say this or I'll delete your Fortnite account.
The only time I use this is when playing a murder-mystery game online. Saying it in normal conversation would sound weird.
It just... sounds bad.

At least this one is usually accurate.
Hitler was a dic(k).
I mean, most of them are dics to their people, so... I prefer the word dicktator, though.
If you say this, you will also be saying goodbye to your Epic Games account.
