  No /s, it is, no one says Gen Zed, or Jay Zed, XY Zee is just next in line, it’s all Zee’s and it makes sense why

  At this point nobody is learning ‘English’, people are learning American because they watch American Movies, TV Shows, listen to American Music, eat American Food, play American Video Games, we watch literally millions of American Youtube and Tiktok Videos every day, we’re following American Influencers and Celebrities, with American Social Media Australians are following American Politics more closely than Australian Politics and frequently confusing the two, in addition we’re all addicted to the American Apps installed on American Operating Systems (all of them, Windows and MacOS and Android and IOS) on the American Smart Phones/Laptops/Desktops

  The top most visited websites in Australia:

  www.similarweb.com/top-websites/australia/

  1. American
  2. American
  3. American
  4. American
  5. American

  The consequence of this is that we lose our culture, but as some French statesman said: why bother when everyone is enjoying everything?

    Well tbf what you’re losing is the UK’s culture. Finding a balance of other stuff that works for you instead of clinging to tradition is how you build a culture.

    Language is weird.
