Have You Noticed How Young People Use Less Euphemisms Etc. Than The Boomers?

First of all, I love this. Instead of a millenial saying 'we have to dot our i's and cross out t's," they simply say "we have to be thorough." Now what is so wrong with getting to the point? Also, dotting I's and crossing T's is a reference to cursive writing, something that is no longer taught in schools. Young people aren't going to relate to this comparison
What do you think of the way communication is changing?

Maybe because we come from different backgrounds now and tend to be online and global, whether work or non-work, so English is more simpler and direct and in effect inclusive?

That's a good point. Plus they text and have their own form of short hand, really. It's probably easier and faster to be more direct.

I rarely interact with young people, so no, I haven't noticed.

Being practical is fine but when we speak it does sound good if we add a bit of spice into it.

I think sometimes millenials are under-rated. I can see their frustration with the preceding generation. The economy was pretty rough when they were growing up. Human rights violations are a problem. I hope many of them can take this motivation they seem to have to want a better world and see it through.
