    Language is like that. You can read into it what you want to in many cases. If you don’t want to accept what I’m telling you I mean when I say something then that’s fine. Just know at that point you’re giving more weight to your own assumptions than you are to what the speaker intended to convey and that’s the opposite of how listening is supposed to work.

        It’s not careless use you’re just trying to be the gatekeeper of which uses are acceptable and which aren’t. Your interpretation isn’t automatically right just because it’s yours.

        Besides, you’re trying to cast boomers as some marginalized group of people when they’re the wealthiest generation in the richest nation in the history of the world. That’s objectively a dumb position to take.

        In summary, and in the clearest language I can muster, there is no award for being offended on behalf of the most people so quit being such a whiny little bitch about everything.
