This Daily Mail article written by Ben Spencer highlights the fact that our language is changing fast, and there's nothing we can do about it. The article very much speaks about how words such as 'gr8' and 'm8' are words which are practically extinct from text language, being replaced with emoticons.
The idea of the older generations not understanding the language of youths today has been explored. 'Surveying 2,000 families, he found that 86 per cent of parents do not understand the majority of terms their children use in mobile or social media communication.' The article describes the situation as parents being a part of a locked out class, who can't get in. This is signifies the fact that parents are really struggling to keep up with the ever changing language that our younger generation is partly responsible.
