Defending teens is the hill that I'll die on. No, they don't speak funny. Every era has its own slang. "Tubular" used to mean "cool" in the 80s, remember?
No, they're not illiterate. They're used to audiobooks because those are widely available. Instead of questioning the system that left their parents so exhausted and underpaid that convenience food and screens as babysitters became normal, we're blaming kids who are inhereting the world that was already broken. Leave 'em kids alone.
