It started when you wrote a sarcastic emotional unload about how necessary it is for our language to change, and what a beautiful and admirable and praiseworthy thing a language that evolves is, as an argument for using the singular they. So it all correlates. And I wanted to demonstrate clearly and boldly to you why we should resist changes in language – explaining my comment. Mandarin Chinese is certainly not the greatest language in the world – they have so many letters in their alphabet that it takes years upon years upon years of ceaseless study to gain a basic comprehension…  Read more of it, whereas our 26-letter alphabet is far more efficient and easy to learn. If other individuals find English to be annoying because it's too eloquent for them, that should serve as a demonstration of just how advanced and sophisticated our native tongue is in relation to the other language around the globe. I understand that Gen-Z does not prioritise formality – but rather than seeing it as a wise decision, as you apparently do, to reject the eloquence of our language in exchange for some ape-like gesture-based means of communication with grunting noises such as "Sup" and "bruh" – I see it as yet another mark of the unparalleled laziness of this generation. If you are too lazy to even speak your language accurately, words cannot describe how lazy you are. And today's workplace standards of "formality" are not distantly satisfactory – contractions still abound in what are supposed to be formal reports in business, higher education, and numerous publications. Take, for example, news – the media writes as if we're five-year-olds rather than respecting us as adults who can form a coherent thought. As for your assertion that if changes in language had been resisted, we'd never have speech – I as a Christian disagree, as I do not believe in Darwinian evolution and am convicted that human beings were created with one language, that was coherent, from the beginning but at Babel were separated into different groups that spoke different ancient languages that slowly evolved into the modern tongues we see today. As for the IQ testing not being "updated in years" – I think it would be ridiculous and absurd, and an absolute humiliation for humanity, if we conceded that we've gotten so horribly stupid that we need a different means of testing intelligence because we as a species are no longer capable, for the most part, o comprehending what was easily understood just a generation ago. Instead of lowering our standards to suit the times, this generation must be rigorously pushed in the educations system and by parents to raise themselves back up to the standards of eloquence we had in the days of old – there must be standards. This generation is growing up lazy and useless because no one is pushing them to anything and they all think they're entitled. Rather than respecting this destructive and evil mentality, we should be encouraging these youngsters to rise from the depths of obscurity, put down their cans of Pringles, shut off the bloody television, and go accomplish something meaningful with their lives. Again, words cannot begin to describe, and I cannot begin to fathom, the ego of people who think our entire language needs to be overhauled so they can feel more comfortable using it. This all interrelates to the change of the singular instance of "they", because that is an unwarranted change in language that doubtlessly makes our speech far less eloquent.
