Another article trying way too hard to make a generational conflict related to language usage.

  I really don't see any conflict in article, but just a good explanation what and why. There have always been differences how language is used and percieved by different generations and will always be.

    >There have always been differences how language is used and percieved by different generations and will always be. Sure but these articles are more or less making up the differences.

  The conflict is genuine, but minor. Online chat has an evolving set of standards. People of different ages use it differently. That creates a chance for miscommunication. But it's not as if Gen Z is out rioting in the streets, or we boomers are constantly on edge for fear that we've used the wrong emoji. (Note: I'm Gen X, but we're regularly lumped in with the boomers.)

I think the main issue is that it rarely leads to miscommunication or hard feelings, especially like this article describes, because younger generations don't hold older generations to the same standard that they do their peers. Pretending that gen-z gets triggered by the use of periods in texts is silly, they've been seeing periods in texts their entire lives from their millennial parents.
