I’ve heard it explained that “hey” used to be more of an urgent way to get someone’s attention, rather than a casual “hello” like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.

someone on reddit got pissed at me for not writing a ‘coherent’ comment, ie because i didn’t use enough capital letters. so anachronistic, don’t you know the style now old man?

Indeed, every elder phone should have a shortcut to the Urban Dictionary.
Many don’t agree with words that have been accepted into Oxford or other dictionaries. So the sarcasm falls flat.

I’m sure there is a point to this, I just don’t give a fuck what it is. 🤣
And we don’t give a fuck about you thinking we sound like a fifth grader.
Your existence is meaningless and has no influence on the world, let alone our lives, fr fr no cap.
Did I ever give you the impression that I cared what a bunch of strangers think of me? You can choose to disregard all that I have said and continue to talk like a fifth grader, that will have absolutely no effect on myself or anyone I know.
Your last sentence screams,”help, I am lonely and need attention“.
None of what we speak today is “proper English.” Languages are constantly evolving.
Taking my statement literally to try and prove your point, just makes you look petty.
…or it makes you bad at communicating, which is the entire purpose of your comment, and language in general.
Maybe you shouldn’t ride on such high linguistic horses?
You’re right, let’s just continue to sound unintelligent.
Meanwhile, foreign countries can speak better English than we can…
I am foreign. Never set foot in an English speaking country.
You aren’t foreign, you would be if you were to visit them :p
Wow, it must suck being such a ass to everyone all the time. Can’t imagine how people who have to deal with you routinely can manage.
Also, the kids they were telling off in the early nineties are pushing fifty now and won’t take any shit from an octogenarian.
“Fuck off Dad, or I’ll take you back to the home!”
