      Each to their own, but I may remind you that whenever your generation was growing up it’s incredibly likely that you were using words your parents didn’t use.

      I can see you’ve already been informed how language evolves, and if you can’t accept that then I don’t know what to say. I guess I could ask why you ain’t talking all Shakespearean?

          That’s just old legalese. If you want Shakespearean you at least have to make it look like iambic pentameter.

          Hence me writing each to their own. I would have thought that conveyed that I support you right to have an opinion.

          To a 40 year old. Gee thanks buddy for the condescending tone.

          lighten up

          And goes on to say

          I’m allowed to have an opinion that it’s fucking dumb…

          Have a wonderful day. I was merely trying to point out that language changes. I tried that in a civil manner, perhaps that didn’t come across.

          First time I’ve seen someone use Shakespearian English to say go fuck yourself. Well done.

            That’s not Shakespearean English by any stretch of the imagination. It’s not even close. It’s some rando’s poorly-educated approximation.

          flavor-of-the-week slang

          Yeet has actually been around for multiple years now. People have been saying it since at least 2018, probably longer.

          Hell, whether you partake or not, it’s part of the process. Slang becomes part of the language if it’s good, and it doesn’t stick if enough people think it’s dumb. Keep doing what you’re doing!
