npub16uchthmwa5xkurj7yjfkh5tn8j8uz94dul9eu4slguaqchlzfzssjwk62q (npub16uc…k62q) I’m old. There’s a “kids today have no respect for the language” rant.
(Which is crap. Language evolves quickly. I like to bait my aunt with that. She’s good for a solid half hour and a second shot of scotch on her opinions of the erosion of proper English. I avoid telling her that my western horror avoids even attempting period-speak. 1848 is a goldmine of paleologisms that were once proper, long since replaced with this modern slang jargon she insists on.)
