Prolly sounds retarded.

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

by Anonymous 12 years ago

You're prolly right.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

I probs should keep that in mind.

it's kinda like saying //kinda// instead of //kind of// or //wanna// instead of //want to//

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.

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 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.
