In languages which use complex written characters (such as Chinese's logographs), is there an equivalent to English's "text speak" shorthand? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[–] cloudless@piefed.social 11 points 2 weeks ago

There are different input methods. I use phoenetic one so I only have to type 3 letters and select the character.

There is also "quick" input method which you only need to pay attention to 2 parts of the character when you type, then it gives you a selection of the most likely characters.

The shorthand is 地鐵, roughly “ground metal”. And everyone understands that as the metro.

Just go back a few days and let me water it well.

Yeah I just re-watched Men in Black and it felt like a new movie to me.

There's more to see than can ever be seen. More to do than can ever be done.

You can still have lots of first experiences if you seek.

The bigger problem is with increased responsibility, less time and less energy.

Altered Carbon. I couldn't get past the first episode. I love sci-fi but this just feels pretentious.
