Listen "Do we need to stop speaking in memes?"
Episode Synopsis
Viral memes and opaque online phrases now weave through classroom discussions and office conversations. While educators note distracted students and parents fret over shrinking vocabularies, linguists point to the gradual fading of nuance in everyday speech. As abbreviated expressions increasingly stand in for complex thought, we are left to wonder what is ultimately lost when shortcuts replace substance. / Round Table's Happy Place (17:22)! On the show: Niu Honglin, Steve & Yushun
