Unless you purposely avoided social media, it would have been quite hard to miss the viral “look between your keyboard” trend.
Under this trend, people answer questions using abbreviations that spell out certain words placed between the different letters on the keyboard.
Usually, the posts shared under the trend leave people laughing hard, and that is just what happened when this woman tweeted about her boss using the trend to deliver news on her appraisal.

If you’re unaware, the letters between H and L say JK - just kidding.
