Could it be a confusion with when Scots porridge oaters say "Ah'm nae sure whit ye're talkin' aboot"? I've been guilty of writing stuff like that right here on this here bored. (P.S. - "Ah'm" is pronounced "Am").
Or is it simply that people now say, and write, "Am not sure what you're talking about"?
Please clarify. "Love? What is love? I have never heard that word before, despite being an android programmed with 200 billion vocabulary components covering all regional dialects of 14 million languages. Kiss? What is kiss? It is what you do to me now? I think I begin to understand".
"Or is it simply that people now say, and write, "Am not sure what you're talking about"?" -------------- Yeah, it's completely that. Bill, behave yourself and TG, you can axe me anything.
Actually I think some of this began back during the days of telegrams. Just saying "AM" and eliminating the subject "I" reduced the word count and lowered expenses.
What really galls me is that "text speak" (e.g., U for you and R for are) is finding its way into other forms of writing. I wonder what written English will look like in 50 years.

I couldn't agree more. The tech (or the fastest way of using it, I should say) is enabling stupidity to flourish.

i condemn you for that and want to encourage more condemnation.
I was just combining the two. I actually had the idea typed out and ready to post before you did, but I canned it. Then you added "axe" very shortly after and that made me re-think it.

I’m very happy not to be on your ignore list - you’d miss some good stuff
