I am sure that even younger people could carry out entire conversations in front of me in modern English that would sound to me like encrypted code. Fascinating really.
    I'm sure that you could de-code it given the context.
    @Rushy, you aren't that much older than I am (I may not have said that 20 years ago, how time changes your perspective). I guess growing up with computing and associated tech does cause a language shift; I struggle with the language of 'the youth of today', probably almost as much as a boomer
