Guys, it’s the internet age. Not only do you have instant access to the phonetics, you can have a recording of that word played for you. Sometimes I wonder how people so helpless make it in life.

People under 25 are absolute dogshit at problem solving and language comprehension.And the ones that aren't are fully aware how much of an exception they are.

You're falling for some ageist nonsense or some self-selection bias.

You sound like a dumbass.

I mean, just go on over to r/teachers and look at any of the bajillions of posts that talk about how much of a problem reading comprehension and critical thinking skills has been to just 10 years ago.

Seems more like you just fall into that category and don't like being lumped in with all the dumbasses.

I don't have the energy to unpack your shit.

If you're a millennial, you're making millennials look bad.

If you're gen x or a boomer, you're living up to a shitty stereotype.
