This is so funny; but, it is all too true. However, I knew it back in the 80's when I went back to college at the age of 32! The youngsters I was in school with could not write term papers and could barely write a complete sentence.
Like, how weird is that? My English teachers taught my classmates and me how to do all that stuff in the 8th grade. LOL! Oh, and yeah, I can talk like my teenage granddaughter now. I mean, I am 55 and I am starting my second adolescence now. LOL!

Do you say things like, "When Sally went Goth a year ago"? My daughter was describing a girl in one of her classes, and daughter made a statement such as that. Hubby was clueless because he didn't know what it meant to "go Goth." Thanks to my addiction to FR, I was not ignorant of this trend.
