    Why do old people always follow the same rules of syntax and grammar?

    Just kidding I’m old and I want to know why young people mangle english so much.

      I think it’s probably an attempt to be unique. Our written words have a massive forum of eyes on them that was never achieved before in human history. So we all wanna be unique? Unsure but that’s my guess. That and it’s possible humans inner monologue is being displayed more accurately and with less fear of repercussion.
