Goddamn it I'm "only" 37 and I don't understand English anymore lmao
It was a good run!
At least grok has been around since โ61.

I'm convinced we've hit a point thanks to the internet where language just evolves so fast that by the time I'm elderly kids will literally be speaking a different language.
I'm a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.

So it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.
