With every generation comes the development of a language based on what is going on in teen culture. Lisa and Sue are again at odds with the destruction of grammar, the shortening of words and the secret codes they just can’t comprehend.

What is all this newfangled slang, the text abbreviations and the joining of words to form new phrases. The OWLS show their concern for the millennials and teens and the inability to speak and write “properly”.

Some may even say that teenagers are far from destroying English but are in fact enriching the language … the OWLS say WTF!

Lisa and Sue try to educate each other by sharing some recent text experiences and try to decipher this foreign language.

Maybe you have an experience you’d like to share with the OWLS so why don’t you get in touch with us on owls@joy.org.au we would love to hear from you. Why don’t you subscribe via I-Tunes, give us a rating (which will bump up our podcast in the I-Tunes store).
