Seems that young people (under 50) are easily thrilled -- !!! --and/or never learned correct use of punctuation. These are some of the same people who say "between you and I" (pronouns!!) or, worse, I think, "for he and I." Ask any of them to explain the difference between subjective and objective pronouns. They can't. Nor can they write in cursive ("connected" writing, in my day). They have a limited vocabulary when it comes to adjectives: I cringe at each use of "amazing" and "awesome." Most things aren't.
Face it: We aging Boomers are now old farts. Quality of public primary and secondary shool instruction has declined markedly in recent decades. By these and many other metrics, the U.S. among OECD nations is now an also-ran. (Ask any high-shool student what the OECD is.) And just look at the emoji below. For illiterates, basically.
Mad as hell and not going to take it anymore (I wish.) Going out to pull up some weeds.
