Like, I get the nostalgia for language purity, the "get off my lawn" energy aimed at slang. But isn't language supposed to live? To morph? My grandma probably hated rock and roll, y'know?
It's like...remember Flappy Bird? Everyone obsessed, then everyone hated it, then it just kinda vanished. But its ghost lingers, a tiny pixelated reminder of a very specific time. Maybe slang is kinda the same - intense, fleeting, and weirdly impactful. Are we doomed? Probably not. Language always finds a way, even if it makes my inner grammar nerd twitch a little. https://flappybird2d.com
