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?

            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“.
