Aussie123 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Looks like my some of my Grand kids texting. Even with the phenomenal power of our minds I'm often challenged by what they write. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Yes. Its a different language now-a-days. Is it the same for people, well kids, of other nationalities who speak their own language I wonder? And I'm not talking about the strangulated English we're having to get used to now. e.g. starting every sentence with the word, 'So'.......

Nick Cooper Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hello John, each generation seeks to amend the language a little, as did we when we were young. I think it is a function of the need to think that we are different to those who went before. To choose only one tiny example, bad used to mean bad but now it means good and yet now I am informed that "sick" and "mental" also mean good. I think the use you describe of "so" has travelled across the Atlantic, much like the use of "ation" at the end of a perfectly adequate word. For example, transportation when it means exactly the same as transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie123 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Getting old. Where did the word 'like' come from in modern usage? I can't stand it! Seems to have happened in the past five years or so. eg. ' I'm going down the shop like. Do you want to come to like, hang out?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Put up with it folks, because the way we are going the human race will lose the power of speech and only communicate with their Iphones or whatever the latest device is called. Terry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
