THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!
Dear John,
I'm 17. My mom listens to your show every day and loves you guys. So I'm calling her out about what she did on our recent vacation. Our family went on a vacation together. It was a great trip, but when she booked our flights, my mom and dad were in first class and she stuck me and my 9-year-old brother in back with strangers. It's not like we can't afford it. My dad makes a ton of money and we have always flown first-class before. I asked what was up with this, and mom said it's time I learned not to be so elitist. She says I don't appreciate how the real world works. And I'm not happy. I think this is ridiculous. And I told her. She did not react well. What's going on here? Am I wrong in thinking this is simply cruel?
Signed
Distraught Daughter

It may not come as a surprise to you to hear this, but according to a poll, a majority of young adults think proper spelling just doesn’t matter anymore. Nor does punctuation, it would seem, at least when using social media and messaging platforms. In the survey of 2,000 Gen Z, it was found that less than a quarter use periods, commas, and quotation marks in their casual communications. For comparison, more than half of people (55%) over the age of 65 say they’re very conscientious about using proper grammar while texting or posting online. The younger adults were found to be likely to use correct punctuation in text messages (69%). But on social media platforms like Snapchat and TikTok, less than 10% bother with that stuff. Just a quarter of those between 18-24 use capital letters correctly, compared to 61% of seniors. And just 16% of Gen Z always use periods at the end of sentences.

The vibrant colors that leaves turn in the fall are their…actual colors. It’s true: leaves that change are naturally those orange, red and yellow shades, but during half of the year, those hues are overwhelmed by green chlorophyll. As chlorophyll goes away in autumn, the other pigments begin to show their colors.

From the “Forever Fall & Halloween” Facebook page, someone posted this review of the new pumpkin Spice Frosty from Wendy’s. Beautiful description…
“Just a little PSA style testimony here- the Pumpkin Spice Frosty I was so excited to try at Wendy’s is absolutely revolting. I’ve had some time to think about this whilst power washing the inside of my mouth, and the best way I can describe the flavor is this: melted dollar store pumpkin candle, spritzed with 65-year-old Avon perfume, and stirred with the leg of a haunted Victorian doll. Try if you must, but I do not recommend. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3msb8t9r
