Fortunately, most Zoomers are very good at code switching. For example, I had a conversation with my daughter about laughing emoji vs. skull and crossbones ("ded") because I was seeing tons of online discourse about it. Her response was "It's not a big deal to me or any of my friends because we know you're old." Well, ouch, but also OK. So I still text in complete sentences etc. and she doesn't and it's all fine.
