Why do people say "tho" instead of "though" when texting?? I just stumbled upon a friend who I happened to be chatting with. I asked them a question and they responded with "tho." I swear, I wanted to raise the roof, and not in a good way. I almost cried because we, as humans, as a society, are so much better than that. And I felt the same towards the person I was texting. What a strange world... :/
