The last sentence is “It was a phenomenon without precedent” in case you’re wondering.

I guess "Pbly" could actually be either possibly or probably. Actually it could even be "impossibly" or "improbably" but maybe that would be better shortened to mply and it wouldn't fit the context. It could be tricky to write for this in a way that isn't ambiguous. Any long words stand to be a real problem. I did split newscaster into 2 words intentionally for that reason.

Really? I thought it was only the last sentence that wasn’t self-explanatory. Maybe “dmtd” for “admitted”. But here it is: Just then, the phone rang. Jon picked it up. “Jon. what did you do?!” It was Karyn. “I don’t know!” Jon answered. “Did you make every word four letters long Jon?!” “Probably,” he admitted. He turned on the television. The news caster was talking about total chaos. The nasdaq had fallen 9999 points, war was brewing as people thought it was a sign of the end times. No one could explain what was happening. It was a phenomenon without precedent.

Hmm wonder how this would bode for data storage.
