Do u feel lazy when it comes to writing? Well, shortening some common words may help u a bit.
| Original | Short | Thoughts |
| you | u | The 1st-person pronoun 'I' is 1 letter (1L); thus, 'you' should be 1L too. |
| your | ur | |
| are | r | |
| the | þ (th) | The article 'a' is 1L; thus, 'the' should be 1L too. Omit the letter "e" & use the digraph for "th" (thorn). |
| and | n / & | Everybody pronounces this as just "n" or "an" so it's nonsensical to write "and." Eg. Rock n Roll. |
| should | sd | |
| could | cd | |
| would | 'd | |
| have | v | should have -> sda |
| will | l | |
| some | sm | "Some" looks it should be pron'ed like "home." |
| does | ds | "Does" looks like the plural of "doe," female deer. |
| done | dn | "Done" looks like it should be pron'ed like "bone." |
| gone | gn | "Gone" looks like it should be pron'ed like "bone." |
| been | bn | Americans pronounce this as "bin," so it's nonsensical to spell "been" anymore. |
| come | cm | The same as "some." |
| them | em | Eg. Hold'em |
| somebody | sb | Often seen in dictionaries. |
| something | sth | |
| people | ppl | Another option is to use kanji 人 (only 2 strokes). personality -> psnality |
| person | psn | |
| were | wr | |
| was | ws | |
| with | w/ | within -> w/in |
| without | w/o | |
| please | pls | |
| because | cuz | |

| through | thru | |
| really | rly | |
| before | b4 | |
