"Why do our children think "fast" is an adverb, rather than an adjective (or noun)? Maybe that's also because of the poor example the adults are setting. "


No, it's part of the reason the kids are imploding, because they're living in a world with crap jobs, crap outlook, starting their lives with mass debts, and have no hope of ever owning a house, or even renting one....

...and meanwhile, all the bloody adults do is tell them off for getting their nouns muddled with their f'ing adjectives..!


"Immigration is way too high!"

...becomes....
"Way past time we brought the Third World into One World and shared it all around, equally."
