Its a gen z trend. My nephews do the same. We are old.

It’s older than that - lots of my boomer bosses did it to seem cool over email in the late 90s.

I viscerally remember starting my day with my inbox saying “cum c me”… I know what you’re trying to do, bro, but damn.

We are young and old all at the same time.

Interesting. I am a millennial and I never did this, nor did I have any friends that did. But I know m nephews deliberately turn off the auto edit in there iphones.

I remember hearing that people used it as a way to signal that they were too busy, too on the go, too important to use proper punctuation..it was an obnoxious c suite trend as long as I can remember. Like you're always trying to signal that you were doing all of your comms from your cell phone between meetings/travelling. Given this article's tone and content I would say that what the author is trying to emulate or convey , maybe subconciously.

Turning off the auto correct is really interesting, I wonder if there's any kind of study on that

We are not old, there is a reason the generation is said (in stats and polls) to be less professional than prior generations when entering the workforce

> less professional than prior generations when entering the workforce

Every older generation says that about the next.

It's not about generations, it's about professionalism. This generation, on average, decided that professionalism is not their thing, at least that is the prevailing sentiment.

People who don't adhere to professional standards find fewer job opportunities and lower pay. The market will work things out
