    I know it’s the Verge and all but really, using “big mad” in a headline?

          Yeah. And yeah it does.

          However when I was young in the late 80s adults were always complaining about the way we spoke, so I guess I’ll refrain from doing the same thing to young people now

        I, briefly, participated in a journalism camp for a large state newspaper where I live and the guiding advice was to, “write targeting a 6th grade education”.

        That was 15 years ago, I can only imagine it’s lower now.
