    Have you seen how fast slang is evolving currently? I can’t even imagine translating something like “chat, am I cooked?” to my grandma.

    Also on a side note; have you noticed the rise in lisps?

      I can’t even imagine translating something like “chat, am I cooked?” to my grandma.

      “Hey folks, am I in trouble?”

      True! Fad based language spreads like wildfire with modern tech! At the same time, I feel like trends like that fall out of favour just as fast. It’s definitely a wild time for language evolution.
