"A common misconception about language is the idea that kids, these days, are
ruining English or “dumbing it down.” The kids in question these days, The
Year of our Lord, 2023, are Generation Z (“Gen Z” for short), born roughly
between 1995–2015 or so.

Gen Z is indeed changing English, but it is also very much a misconception
that this constitutes a degradation or ruination of the language. Throughout
history, it has always been the younger generations that drive language change,
and then grow old enough to complain about kids in their own time!"
