more hating on the younger generation by sensationalising random BS studies

also, an article in the mirror that quotes the torygraph??

According to The Telegraph...

yeesh, they really are pandering to their ageing audience, aren't they?

Oh nothing. Just a bloke with a bag on his head waving at traffic.

actually, that's not a random BS study, if you're a linguist. the guy i heard talk spoke perfect sense. it's all about interpretation of text messages with statements, not formal writing. if you write 'we're out of milk' it's a factual, neutral statement. 'we're out of milk.' is not neutral and can have several connotations - annoyance, blame, finality, 'what you gonna do about it' could all be implicit. have caught myself thinking about putting full stops in messages myself because of this for ages, and i'm no spring chicken.
more prevalent in the young because they've always had text messaging, and we haven't.

It’s the way the article pitches it as “ooh look the kids are scared of their own shadows”.

Am just sick of their s**t.

that bit's arsewholey, yes

Blimey!
Hang in there @CamilleDeville .

It is definitely sad that has happened. That worries all of us who have massive oak trees standing next to our houses. We are supposed to get 80mph winds in the next couple of hours but I hope it weakens

it has moved on to the east and weakened. I just saw on fb that Lake Charles got hit pretty hard, their riverboat casino broke loose

Ah, ok good to know. I also never heard a trash can called a wheelie bin, but now I think I will use that term when I’m racing mine down the driveway to the trash truck and it pops a wheelie, lol. I couldn’t imagine the druggies in my area using it for snorting, it smells
