LINGUISTS: YOUNG PEOPLE REFUSING TO USE FULL STOPS IN SENTENCES BECAUSE THEY SEE THEM AS ‘AGGRESSIVE’
Experts claim language is being “revised in a really fundamental way”, in part because of wokeness
The world’s leading language experts have noted that young people are ‘fundamentally’ altering written communication based on what they perceive to be aggressive or offensive.
In particular, the use of the full stop, or period, in sentences is diminishing according to linguistsbecause it has come to signify annoyance or offence.
“Full stops are, in my experience, very much the exception and not the norm in [young people’s] instant messages, and have a new role in signifying an abrupt or angry tone of voice,” notes Owen McArdle, a linguist at the University of Cambridge.
Fellow linguist Dr Lauren Fonteyn of Leiden University said “If you send a text message without a full stop, it’s already obvious that you’ve concluded the message. So if you add that additional marker for completion, they will read something into it and it tends to be a falling intonation or negative tone.”
Math? Whatever. It’s a sine of things to come. TikTok girl’s thoughts on math prove the theory that civilization is already dead. From British Museum to Mr. Bean, what made us civilized is being torn down (and we’re not talking about statues).
Man I wish I knew this could be changed for me when I grew up. I wouldn’t be so f’ n cranky in my adulthood. Lol Oh, I forgot and used period’s Think I’ll go postal
Please - give them a break - it is harmless. 9f course you know I am not referring to thugs - we all know them. I am referring to young people - just like you and me at that age. Kids are smarter than we give them credit for - it will pass. Every generation has a new trick or two ensuring we adults are driven crazy 😂
I didn't realize Eastern Shore had so many hateful people. Comprehension is least of your worries. Don't believe everything you read. Don't encourage young people to do "more" stupid things. I can read very well that you !!!! My income proves it and will match yours any day 😂😂😂😂
These young idiots think they know how to fix the world with their socialist ideology not know any history of how many people have been murdered by governments pushing socialism and communism.
Wait - young kids- what age are you speaking of? AOC age group or the early teens. I don't believe all kids are stupid. I don't believe all kids are lazy. I do believe it 8s not fair to catorize them into one group. Take the time to try and understand where they are coming from. Listen to their ideas no matter how outrageous. Sometimes they do stupid things just to get attention. Yes - I have a child - a well adjusted adult. Yes I am aware how young kids can seem stupid but they are not. Give them respect and credit.
10:48 pm. Your comment adds nothing to the issue but as you say low IQ. Get your head out of the sand. There are young people out there who never get credit for doing well. By well I mean - they don't use drugs, steal or murder. Your comment suggest all kids are evil. Wakeup - you are the problem that the kids. Face facts .
What kind 9f life do you people have? Bad kids are a result of bad parents. Look in the mirror before you judge. Are you a role model. Do you work, do you smoke, do you cuss, do not go to church, do you hate anyone who disagrees with you, do you volunteer in kids activities. What do you as a grown up contribute to better life for kids. That's where it starts.
Certain groups are too lazy to tie shoestrings. Certain groups are too lazy to use a turn signal. Certain groups are too lazy to return the grocery cart to the cart return area. Certain groups are too lazy to say “thank you”. Certain groups are too lazy to park in the parking lot and park it in the fire lanes. Certain groups are to lazy to work for a living.

ReplyDeleteINFOWARS? Really? Is there a conspiracy theory that you have not bought into yet?
ReplyDeleteThis generation you young people are mostly just plain stupid.

DeleteYoung people are stupid beyond comprehension. Enough said! Webster's dictionary can tell you what comprehension means because we know you can't read.

DeleteWestern Civilization is like a snake who has had the head cut off. They keep moving, mimicking life.
ReplyDeleteUnless we drive out the communists, we will fall.
B.S. They are just too lazy to do it right. On an IPhone it is necessary to make 3 extra keystrokes to put in punctuation.
ReplyDeleteEvidently, they don't retain anything they learn to English class.
ReplyDelete"they don't retain anything the learn " to" English class. Where did they teach you English.

ReplyDeleteIt is a deliberate dumbing down of the population by the elite families who control public education
ReplyDeleteHeaven forbid they should read a book and discover why periods and other marks are critical to understanding.
ReplyDeleteLearn???? You tellin' me they actually learn something in school now? I think the new way of writing and speaking is inspired by ebonics.
ReplyDeleteYou can't fix stupid.
ReplyDeleteWait - young kids- what age are you speaking of? AOC age group or the early teens. I don't believe all kids are stupid. I don't believe all kids are lazy. I do believe it 8s not fair to catorize them into one group. Take the time to try and understand where they are coming from. Listen to their ideas no matter how outrageous.
