Former teacher here: this has been in the making for at least a decade. I can’t even really point to Covid as the origin; it was simply the final nail in the coffin. 😬

The 90s teen tv show - Dawson’s creek, use to add SAT words in their dialogue and since it was the top teen show at the time, they said sat scores went up while that show was on. Why doesn’t USA do that again?

Half the cast of vanderpump went to college for English or journalism. I think that also plays a role bc people nowadays are super discouraged from pursuing those majors and careers due to ai, so literacy definitely takes a toll.

ive noticed this on love island this season. i think 40 total different words have been used. ive heard "that makes me feel not good" or "that makes me feel good" 20x instead of actual adjectives
