I mean, fair enough. But have you heard kids these days? Between the algorithmic feedback loop that is the modern internet, the disinterest of parents in actually parenting their kids, and chatgpt... I don't think it's unreasonable to be a bit concerned about how uneducated the children in our education system are coming off. It's not me being classist, it's valid criticism of a systemic failing.
You do know that you sound exactly like your parents, right? And their parents said the same too. Every friggin next generation does this, this is not news, man.
It's actually you being ageist and not understanding how languages work. Your complaint is identical to Boomers complaining about how Gen Xers and Millennials talk just with updated tech. It's a cycle that goes back many generations. The lack of funding for education actually has little to do with it .
