Haha. Can't say I blame you.

Back home, I knew a couple of guys who would send texts sort of like this. Just minus the emojis, we didn't have those yet in 2001. So I'm used to deciphering this sort of nonsense.

Yeah, 2001 sounds about right for the last time anyone said "lurve".

But hey, you're from the same century as me. That's cool.

I have sometimes tried to think about how American English sounds on the street based on some of the more recent (for me) music coming out of the States that I've listened to.

Yeah, that is pretty cool. 2015, right? If there's a "me" in your world, I'd be 30.

Maybe I shouldn't have made that calculation. I honestly can't picture it. It's strange to even try to imagine.

[ another one... are they cheaper labor or something?? Hathaway what are you doing ]

Was 2015, now 2104.

Also I hate to be the 30-will-be-here-before-you-know-it guy, but... yeah.
