Are you familiar with Gen Z slang (such as "rizz," "no cap," "slay," or "it's giving")?

Never teach Gen Z Slang to Neo, who knows what AI will do with slang it will put every form of slang together and try and make the best form of slang. and then it will change again the next day. Do not teach slang to AI robots.Edited 24-Mar-25 19:13pm

Isn't , in particular, English a simply wonderful language? It is constantly evolving, adding new words, adopting words from other languages. There is really only one way to spell English word and that is the English way. The Americans have tried, and thankfully, have largely failed to change the way we spell English. They have bastardised it and the absurd way they use words. They don't go to the WC, Lavatory, Loo, Men's, Ladies they go to the Bathroom, not sure what they do there because many homes have a toilet which is next to, but not in, the Bathroom where we go to Shower of have a bath.Of course I will be accused of being a member of the F Generation, the Forgotten Generation - those of us born before 1940 most of us still use the correct spelling of words

  From memory 'bathroom" came into use for us when we went out to public arenas, , it sounded better to say bathroom rather than toilet ,,,, it was used in Canada, USA, Australia and most likely NZ.

  There is no "pure language" in the Bible. Different parts of the Bible were originally written in Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew. Around 1535 it was translated into English, with a ton of edits, errors, and mistranslations, which still cause confusion and differences of opinion among the various Biblical faiths today.

  Teach Others the Pure Language: Despite coming from many ‘nations, tribes, peoples and tongues,’ Jehovah’s Witnesses are a united people, a true international brotherhood. (Rev. 7:9) In today’s divided world, that is remarkable. How is it possible? Because we have been given “the change to a pure language.” Zephaniah 3:9 "For then I will change the language of the peoples to a pure language, So that all of them may call on the name of Jehovah, To serve him shoulder to shoulder." “All the Earth Continued to Be of One Language” Genesis 11:1-4, 6-9; At Babel, Jehovah scattered disobedient humans by confusing their language. Today he is gathering a great crowd out of all nations and tongues and giving them “a pure language” so that they “may call on the name of Jehovah, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.” (Zephaniah 3:9; Revelation 7:9, 10) This “pure language” is the truth about Jehovah and his purposes as found in the Scriptures. Learning a new language takes more than just memorizing new words. It requires learning a new way of thinking, new thought patterns. Similarly, as we learn the pure language of truth, our minds are transformed. (Romans 12:2) This is a continuing process that results in unity among God’s people.—1 Corinthians 1:10’" ;-D Edited 24-Mar-25 07:32am

I mostly socialize with Generation Y, Generational X, Baby Boomers, Silent Generation, and one individual from the Greatest Generational. I don't have contact with Generational Z, and Alpha General on a regular basis. We don't have any life experiences in common - so I don't understand their lingo (slang) at all.Edited 24-Mar-25 08:06am
