Language is endless. How we communicate is endless. Everyone from around the world is communicating with language whether it's gestures or speaking. There are many factors that do play a role in how we use language. For example how the text was specifying gender, misunderstandings, interests, etc. All of these help everyone either communicate with people with similarities or not communicate with their differences. In the part of the text where it was talking about slang and jargon words is very relatable to this day. Millennials speak in slang that adults can barely understand sometimes. But the slang and jargon culture does not end. Language starts to evolve as time passes on as well. It's amazing how language is used nowadays.
