I only say "prolly" intentionally, if I need the word to contribute to the tone I'm aiming for. Otherwise, I avoid abbreviating those sorts of words altogether.

Eh, I use "prob" if I have to abbreviate probably in a sentence. Seems more proper I guess.

If I have to abbreviate (say, to fit in a tweet or to keep a text in 1 part) I either use probly or probs. Seems okay.

@MacaroniSalad If I have to abbreviate (say, to fit in a tweet or to keep a text in 1 part) I either use probly or probs...

I think that it's fine as long as people know when to use it

and that we differentiate between formal and informal situations

we don't wanna accidentally type prolly for a paper we're writing

wanna doesn't even get a a squiggly red line under it

Yeah, and if I can avoid writing it that way, I will. It's just convenient.

On the topic of wanna and kinda, I use those all the time, because I more often than not, say them instead of want to or kind of

I probs should keep that in mind.
