Analysis of a text by Tevvy Is So Cold


My message between me and my friend using Facebook. 

Friend: whats ur money saying

Tarique: Loooool you funny kid, Yeah I got 60 on me, Mate I can't leave this feature thing lol, I'm tryna get her on the mixtape but its 100 for her, So ima try 50 lol

Friend: loooool

Tarique: Let's do this

When talking to a friend I still use commas but there is still minimalism when using punctuation as this is an informal occasion and overall this is a friend so there is no need for punctuation unless I want him too know there is a pause, Notice the repetitive use of "looool" we use this in place of pauses as well as commas and also to show the fact that something said was funny.

My friend says "ur" instead of "your" this is our idiolect otherwise known as urban slang this is used as we are sometimes to lazy too type "your."
