Talking to random strangers is not done anymore these days. Now it’s avoiding random strangers. :frowning:

Or talking in general, it seems. A friend of mine told me that she sometimes texts her kids to “come have dinner” when they are all in the house together. Lol

Yep. These are different times we live in now. It’s so sad to see a family dining at a restaurant with mom, dad and the kids each on their cellphones. I think the art of conversation is no longer in practice. Nowadays, not only is there less conversation but also too many acronyms are in use to a point where you feel like you are learning a new language. I used to be a Patient Relations volunteer at a local hospital before Covid and one of my patients, an elderly lady, told me that she thought “lol” meant “lots of love”.

Now I’m starting to wonder whether those kids might develop language issues if they hardly ever hear their mothertongue being spoken …

Btw, “lol” is also the Dutch word for “fun”. :wink:

Lol, not always. You cannot easily change your boss, colleagues, teachers, classmates, neighbours, family, landlord, employees of the shops at your neighbourhood, local doctors, etc., etc. There really are people you can’t escape from! :scream:
