some of my favourite text abbreviations in english are p for pretty and v for very

they’re both v nice

You they’re v nice and p

no but i personally would only use p when it functioned as an adverb, not as an adjective! possibly something for @allthingslinguistic

That’s interesting! I seem to share that intuition: I can say “that flower is v nice”, “that flower is p nice”, and “that’s a p nice flower” but not “that flower is p” or “that’s a p flower”. 

Another example of internet slang being systematic and having patterns, not just randomness. (Although I’d be very interested if some people would actually say something like “that flower is p” or “that’s a p flower” – anyone?)
