Are kids nowadays getting dumber? - The Student Room
Are kids nowadays becoming more and more stupid as time progresses? I certainly noticed such a trend. Here are a few examples of their idiotic slang: -"so much win"
-"as ****" -"it's the internet" followed by some excuse
-your vs you're -asking questions without placing question marks
-"really?" -"honestly"
What is wrong with these kids? Even hillbillies produce more accurate English than these troglodytes! They should go back to school and relearn English! I know I am not the only one who feels utterly frustrated by this. Reach out to me and feel my misery, oh co-educated ones!

I don't think people use vine anymore.
No - data suggests they're getting smarter. Be glad you weren't alive in 6000 BC
I don't think that any of those can really reflect on someone's intelligence.
People just copy other people's lingo, whether that's in person or on the Internet.
Probably the only big pet hate that I agree with on your list is your and you're.

That would be a huge relief. Better would be the non-existence of anything remotely resembling it. We need tools that make us smarter, not dumber.

If you copy other people's lingo, you have no substance, no personality.

I know that. It has been abused by modern society, which is one of the things I hate about kids nowadays: they take something which has value and they disrespect it without even knowing what they are talking about.
