In Reply to: I'm mildly surprised a 14YO would have "cold" and "sterile" in his audio vocabulary... posted by Steve O on August 28, 2014 at 11:27:22:
Thanks (?) to intensive media exposure, the internet, cellphones, etc.., children's vocabularies are surprisingly rich nowadays. But, because they abbreviate so many words (texting), they often have poor spelling skills. They sure do know how to gab, though...IMO, today's kids seem to be better assimilators than creators.
