Language, slang and terminology

The most changes I have noticed in everyday talks usually start from the teens at school and somehow expand to older people too. Some of them are pretty annoying and make no sense at all. What saddens me much though is the way people type nowadays. Shortening of words, converting words to similar without realizing it is wrong, etc. I am sure there are teens now who cannot spell words properly anymore because they just type whatever comes in their mind and sounds similar to what they want to say.

There is always a new slang or something coming out. Sometimes I say something to my girls and they just look at me real funny. I'm not supposed to be up on that stuff..lol. I don't think I really am either. I mean..I'm not sure if they are looking at me like that because the word is in or out

I think i still talk just like i always have. I'm not saying that's a good thing, lol.

Sometimes I don't get the words the younger generation use now, being a "Bisaya" BTW just meant yeah, but recently I realized that my younger sis meant by the way when she uses it...sometimes I just ask what she means when she uses slang words/acronyms because I mostly don't get it!!! I get to use some of the words she uses like the acronyms, FYI, BTW, IDTS...and some slang words in our dialect...when I talk to my friends whom right now I seldom meet already since of their jobs and mine, they seem weirded out a bit of the way I talk but we just laugh at it...
