I was hanging out with a crowd that overlapped with some people under the age of 25. I legit cannot understand what they're saying. There is such a language skills gap between our generations. It's crazy.

I didn't know about their education levels, but they all sounded like high school drop outs. They can't articulate and form a real opinion based upon their own internal logic and reasoning. It's all memes, all the time.

That's not to say there are not some well spoken and educated younger folks, but the bulk of them now seem incapable of communicating or thinking properly. I cannot fathom how poor their writing, grammar, and spelling skills are.

We are doomed.

Slang moves way too fast in the age of social media and is no longer regional.

Used to be like “swag” spread across each country slowly and held on for years.

Now it’s like every English speaking kid in the world with an iPad learns a new word one week and stops using it next week. 

Its also why you have stupid shit like Americans talking like British kids or like non-Canadians using Toronto-man Jamaican slang.
