Dialect divide: How they text vs how we do it

Conversation in Gen Z slang

Suh? Spill the tea

Isn’t the new boy in my class a total snacc?

Yeet

But everyone ships this other girl with him

Oof

And this girl, her clothes are always on fleek. Sup with you

I’ll be on TV during the school break next month. Got selected as the emcee of this new reality show for teens. And I’ll be making a guap

Wig! But reality show judges do drag the participants

Well, one of the judges choosing the emcees was throwing shade at me too. She is so savage, no cap. And this other contestant kept on flexing about all the shows she has hosted. But I got selected, so it’s all gucci. My sister is being salty, though

Oh she is always so thirsty

Yassss! BTW did you listen to the new Billie Eilish track I forwarded you

It’s such a bop

She is the G.O.A.T. Anyway, I have to go out, finna get changed. Can’t take another month of school without something lit and that’s the real talk

Mood

Conversation in ‘normal’ English

Wassup. Give me some gossip

Isn’t the new boy in my class very good looking?

Oh yes

But everyone is linking him to this other girl in class.

Oh no! That’s really bad

And this girl, she is always perfectly and fashionably dressed. What’s up with you?

I’ll be on TV during the school break next month. Got selected as the emcee of this new reality show for teens. And I will be making lots of money

That’s so exciting and unexpected. But reality show judges really do roast participants

Well, one of the judges choosing the emcees was quite insulting to me too. She is so cool, seriously. And one of the other participants was showing off about all the shows she has hosted. But I got selected, so it’s all good. My sister is bitter and jealous, though

Oh she is always so desperate for attention

Yes. BTW did you listen to the new Billie Eilish track I forwarded you

It’s such an enjoyable song

She is the greatest of all time. Anyway, I have to go out, gotta get changed. Can’t take another month of slogging for the exams without something fun and that’s the truth

Same here
