As a millennial who talks with the next generation relatively often (younger cousins and the like), I don&#x27;t think they talk like what was described in the article.<p>BTW: I&#x27;ve heard the term &quot;Generation Net&quot;, as in the generation that grew up after the explosion of AOL &#x2F; Internet. Generation Net is younger than AOL and never knew a world without the internet.<p>In my experience, &quot;Generation Net&quot; types with more proper english... pretend to be older, so that they can be taken more seriously online. Without pictures or face-to-face contact, &quot;Generation Net&quot; plays on equal grounds among us on the internet &#x2F; online forums.<p>From an online perspective, &quot;Generation Net&quot; is growing up faster than us. They have to deal with griefers in their Minecraft and swatters on their streams on a regular basis. Their face-to-face social skills seem a bit stunted, but that could be only because they&#x27;re awkward teenagers right now.
