It was to save time when writing things, but the vowels were still understood to be there.

“Save time”?

How would they know that they were saving time if they had never before written vowels? Doesn’t make sense.

Indonesian is my second language and I live in Indonesia. Many people here write w/o vowels in their text messages. I have a lot of trouble figuring out what is being texted.
