"Prolly"

[Ghazban]

Why do people type this instead of "probably"? Its only 2 letters shorter and, to my knowledge, isn't a common elided pronunciation ("probly" would be closer to what am used to hearing).

2 keystokes less are huge - and "ll" (prolly) is faster to type than "bl"(probly)...

well, i do use probly and there r plenty of abreviations that suck. 2 for to is one letter, hand writing @ isn't even close to being as easy as writing at, but ppl do it. just let it go and don't worry.

When did I say I was worried? I was just curious as to why people do it (and tangentially where it came from, but I didn't mention that).

I know this fifty-something years old british-speaking guy who says mushrobly (most probably). I like the sound of it.
