    Gen A got left behind on spelling and grammar. Too much of it that they use is automated, they find grammar to be lame, and thanks to our “pass kids or lose funding” system of public schools they all just get to coast through while not really learning much.

          It’s a joke, bro. They’re not in school yet. Most of Gen alpha is still very young.

              And some are still 1. Like they just marked the ending delineation a couple months ago.

              Don’t get mad at me because you made a bad assumption while trying to insult other people’s intelligence. Over an obvious joke.

                Do your own math and just admit you were wrong. If the youngest is 1 and the oldest if 15, then over half of them are 0ast the point where they should know how to write and spell at least simple words. That also means most of them are not “very young” and that most of them are school age.

                  When I said “they are not in school yet” I was referring to my Gen A’s specifically. The ones you didn’t get were part of the joke that flew over your head.

                  You’d think someone trying to insult others about being able to read would have better reading comprehension skills.

                  I would also consider a median age under 10 to be very young in the context of generations.

                    My comprehension? You directly replied to a response about schools to talk about how your kids didn’t know all of their alphabets yet, but somehow thought everyone would get your “joke” because your kids aren’t in school yet.

                    So explain to me why you think that makes sense?

        Alpha, the one after Gen Z, which is after Millennials, which is after Gen X, which was named that not because it was the 24th, but because they didn’t have a good name so they used X as a placeholder for an unknown name.

        Generations are slightly bullshit tho. Birthdate definitely matters, but it more of a continuum / spectrum than discrete generations.

          There’s definite bleed over , and the differences are loose generalities than facts, but there’s definite patterns that emerge between music, fashion, and technology.

          Like how gen Z and especially A can’t really use computers or understand file structure well, or that mellennials are the last gen who mostly know cursive. Or how anti bully gen z is compared to earlier gens.
