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
