Every older generation loves to look down on the way the newer ones speak. The phrase “kids these days…”could come from the mouth of parents from 1915 or 2015 and mean the same thing: Kids are speaking differently, therefore they’re speaking incorrectly. What they don’t realize is that English isn’t being ruined — it’s just changing, and that’s a good thing. If our language never evolved, we would still be speaking as Shakespeare did. Or English may not have been created at all, since plenty of other languages came before it.
