今天的句子：
A generation understandably horrified by “adulting” may well embrace the linguistic comfort of childlike language. And once established, the habit can easily make the jump to those much older. Young people are the primary drivers of language change, but even the older likes to change things up now and then. As new slang creeps across generational divides, however, it inevitably stirs up people’s deepest linguistic anxieties. Does the new trend of kidspeak represent a dumbing-down of the English language? Just the opposite: With the rise of kidspeak, we are actually witnessing English’s enrichment.
