Sorry for ruffling your feathers- I thought the emoji made it clear that i was just poking some fun!
BTW- you don't need to instruct everyone to "look up" just because you think your vocabulary is that much greater than everybody else's.
Unfortunately, the standard English you refer to is on the wane- Listen to the news! Yes, we all do it- especially those who work with "kids".
I sometimes wonder if today's graduates, when interviewing for jobs, can get away with "relaxed" language" because they are being interviewed by others who grew up "colloquially".
Changing of the guard?
