The Honor Spren Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 When older folks assume that all teenagers sound like idiots in their messages. For example, this was used to compare different kinds of diction in my English course: Spoiler Do they really not realize that the only people who type like that are adults who are trying way too hard to sound cool? I mean, there are abbreviations and emojis used, but not to that extent. Also it annoys me when teenagers are called millennials. Millennials are people in their mid-twenty's to mid-thirty's. Teenagers as of now are part of generation Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty years from now, some people will still call teenagers millennials some people probably don't know the etymology of the word millenials.

+Slowswift Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Honestly, I'd always thought "Millennial" referred to anyone born around the turn of the, well, millennium. Did some Googling, and apparently the cutoff dates for Millennials/Gen Z are still very vague and undefined, with several different potentials given.

Teenagers as of now are part of generation Z. See, I've always figured that the cut off date for a millennial was 2000. I mean, why put millennial in the name if it doesn't actually bump against the thousand year mark? In which case, since I was born in 1999, I should still count as one of the youngest millennials and not a Z. There isn't really a consistent definition for the age range, so I tend to stick with my definition. I've seen some put the cut off as early as '94 and one as late as 2004, so I'm happy with mine.

Kaymyth Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Facebook and its constant need to futz around with functions that worked perfectly well, but now are crappier/more cluttered/less efficient all in the name of squeezing out just a few more cents of ad revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was Generation Y, then the Pepsi generation and now, I'm on the older side of millennial. At least the term Pepsi Generation is no longer a thing *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Budgie Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 @The Honor Spren ugh, that is definitely annoying. A lot of the time, I use emojis simply to be ironic or amusing...and while I use abbreviations I've never seen anyone actually use them like that... Also, if they felt the need to tell you not to write like that in an English course, I would find that kinda insulting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little wilson Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Drivers who don't understand right-of-way. I almost got into an accident a bit ago because a lady tried to turn onto a street that I had been waiting to turn onto for quite a while. Last I checked, right-of-way in those cases states that the person who's been there longer has priority (working similarly to a four-way stop). She had the gall to lay on her horn and then flip me off. I almost wish she'd hit me just so when the cops got there and gave her a ticket and her insurance premiums went up when her insurance company had to pay for the damages to my car, she'd understand that she was wrong. Alas, that would've made me late to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 When people insist on trying to tell you a long set of directions to somewhere when it would be ten times easier to just use Google Maps if they would give you the storming street address!

Mestiv Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Maybe that's a pet peeve caused by my profession, but an opening bracket "(" that isn't paired with a closing bracket ")" inside a text can drastically change my reception of given text. If hurts my soul when the brackets aren't properly paired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erunion Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Ugh. You're right @Mestiv - unmatched parentheses make me twitch. Thats how you ruin code! That's how you mess up equations! And that's how you render your paragraph impossible to comprehend! @A Budgie - quotation marks are what they are called - "I think, therefore I am" sure.

Silverblade5 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 The notion that stuff online isn't "real" and that friends online aren't "real friends ". You people have helped me through some tough times over the last three years, and I like to think I've done the same. We've laughed and cried together, shared triumphs and failures with each other. With the exception of tone and body language, how could something be any more real than that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the exception of tone and body language, how could something be any more real than that? It also means that if I'm having a conversation with someone over the internet, it's less important, and you can leave it instantly. It's a conversation? And as for less important, I have an internet-friend who is in turn close friends via internet with someone who is depressed and at times suicidal. But if something needs to be done in real life, it doesn't matter what the conversation is. It's annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
