Default does it annoy you when...
people say stuff like 'ngl' when it's not needed. like on twitter/facebook i'll see something like

"i'm really cold today, ngl"

ngl means not gonna lie if you didn't know

i don't know why it just seems really irrelevant and everyone adds it these days and i don't get it and it annoys me.

ALSO

when people say 'cannae' when they're not scottish/geordie where ever that word is from. i just see people from where i live say it when we don't use it and it sounds so out of place and it annoys me

Might just be me, but what about you?

Yes to the first part.

People saying Cannae doesn't annoy me but then I'm Scottish and I hear/see it ever day, it means 'can't' here though not sure it means that elsewhere...

I don't mind people using acronyms per se, but there are so many that people use now that I have to sit for a second and try and figure it out because they're unfamiliar to me. TBH is to be honest, but then I see stuff like LBR or NGL and I have to think about it for a moment... and I never remember what SMH or KMT mean and I've asked so many times and I never remember the answers

They're a ludicrous use of TextSpeak.

Let's hope "cannae" is not being confused with "canny"

I am totally oblivious of it all, I honestly thought ngl was short for niggle.
No wonder I could make no sense of it

All 'text speak' even in a text message, annoys me. It should not be tolerated on a forum.
