Young People Think That Old People Are Fools But Old People Know That Young People Are Fools. Does the above quote still hold good in the present scenario of Learning, Speaking and Writing English where young and old cross swords over the correct usage of words, especially old brooding over informal language's domination upon formal language.

I feel that today, world of education, application and implementation has become more comfortable for people of all types. So what ever the quote be, not everybody think like that..

There is no doubt that correct usage of words is a must in formal and informal language use. Slangs dominated even in old times. What annoys the older generation is the total violation of rules of grammar, spellings etc. Young people can manage simple communication with informal language but when it...

With time everything evolves including language. New words and slangs are introduced, so communication, speaking, and learning is an ever evolving process not confines to old or new. So keep updating and evolving.

Its just a matter of adapting different point of views. The usage of the language by old during their times was appropriate while in today's scenario what young people speaks also matches their requirements. There is no harm for both in learning their ways while still mastering their own everyday.

Dear Singaravelu, Change is inevitable and adaptation is optional. Contemporary English has undergone massive changes in scope and nature of its usage. Many 18th century words are now obsolete and many are in endangered list (for e.g., Brabble, Freck or Kench). We can't use these words now. Can we?...

Dear Singaravelu, Change is inevitable and adaptation is optional. Contemporary English has undergone massive changes in scope and nature of its usage. Many 18th century words are now obsolete and many are in endangered list (for e.g., Brabble, Freck or Kench). We can't use these words now. Can we? If elders believe 'google' and 'tweet' are not verbs but incorrect usage of informal English, then it is their problem, not ours. Hope my opening sentence makes sense now. Cheers!! read less

No it doesn't, the old were once the young and vice versa so each generation keeps evolving over the previous. Universal truths don't change.
