I really wish this video opened with the remarks at the 10-minute mark; it is so so important for people to understand the harm in allowing social media to change the way you speak and that Gen Z slang is not something that started in a small corner of the internet.
Have you watched the entire essay? The specialist said although many slang words might come from toxic communities, kids aren't becoming part of them, if any, they mock it to show how ridiculous it is. So don't freak out just because there is a new word term that may or may not be artificially trending, just be well informed about it like the expert said and enjoy the weird side😊
I haven't even watched the Ted talk yet but I can tell you right now I'm not going to start talking slang this late in life. I mean really bussing is what you do when you clear a table not when you're talking about how good food is. 🙄
I swear schools don't teach like they used to and I wish they still did due to no cursive writing anymore and you are absolutely correct social media is changing our whole planet.
This guy is such a tryhard charlatan it's so cringe he's pretending to be a linguistics expert on tiktok and now here on tedx lol. He literally spreads scientific falsehoods about language
It’s not uncommon for creators of popular educational content to prioritize accessibility or entertainment, which can sometimes lead to oversimplifications or the unintentional propagation of inaccuracies. If you’ve heard claims of Aleksic spreading misinformation, it might be worth investigating the specific examples and analyzing whether the issues are outright falsehoods, simplifications, or interpretations subject to debate within the linguistic community. Do you have any examples?
It's not changing the way I speak. The speakers generation, which relies on the internet to shape their personality, are the lost gen who are allowing this slang speak as the norm, unfortunately.

teehee that's me :) if u liked the talk I have a full-length book called "algospeak" which you can preorder now 👹
Bookpilled, but sure your book eats! (I’ll actually preorder, I dig your work!)
So interesting!!
Wow the tiktok guy does a tedtalk, very cool, very demure.
So true!!! Only time will REALLY tell how damaging tik tok & social media are to these kids.

i lov how the second portion has the audio and video so poorly "synced"
Every Gen Z teen oughts to watch and learn from this video
Same with every boomer. They could learn a thing or two about how communication is changing.
Very interesting

The use of bussing for "good" came long before Tik Tok trends. Start the video at around minute 10.
God Job I've never watched a tiktok video. Or this one.
The TikTok prosody is crazy … that’s where the speaker’s intonation doesn’t reflect the intent of the sentence or statement.
It’s £¥€|

My fave lingRizzst, right here!
Only because the social media sensors those words & will remove posts if those words are used
I need a Motrin. My back is unaliving me.
Are. Are changing.
Media change. *A* medium changes.
Is. Is changing.
Language changes. "Social media" is now an uncountable noun.
I am un skinny. Very un light. I move very unfast
Is he trying to start a fight on stage? Too much gesturing IMO
Is changing nothing about ne im at war with the guidelines...

Unalive??? Come on man.
This guy is such a tryhard charlatan it's so cringe he's pretending to be a linguistics expert on tiktok and now here on tedx lol.
He literally spreads scientific falsehoods about language
What falsehoods?
What kind of falsehoods
Example?
It’s not uncommon for creators of popular educational content to prioritize accessibility or entertainment, which can sometimes lead to oversimplifications or the unintentional propagation of inaccuracies. If you’ve heard claims of Aleksic spreading misinformation, it might be worth investigating the specific examples and analyzing whether the issues are outright falsehoods, simplifications, or interpretations subject to debate within the linguistic community. Do you have any examples?
The reason we have such a mental health problem is because of social media being in the hands of middle schoolers
Nothing new , poly over saying bi meh ok
I disagree. Kids are gonna be worse at writing essays
They need to pay the bills
First here 😊👋
Or maybe not 😮😊😊😊😊😊😊
It's not changing the way I speak. The speakers generation, which relies on the internet to shape their personality, are the lost gen who are allowing this slang speak as the norm, unfortunately.
We love you adam
