Yeah, so everyone obviously code switches, right?
They talk differently with their friends than they do in a job interview, or at least if they want to get a job, they will.
They'll do that, right?
But kids generally, teenagers especially, are at this sort of peak social time of their lives, right?
That's when they want to fit in the most.
That's when they want to be the coolest.
And so that is also where we see an uptick of all this kind of slang and really sort of localized slang.
And then it kind of, you know, so they kind of ramp up and then between 15 and 17, that's where they have it the most.
And then as they sort of get into being more adult-like, then it tapers off somewhat.
So, yeah.
Absolutely.
We actually want, language isn't just about meaning, like meaning things, right?
We're communicating with people, right?
So we're clearly have to use it for more than just like designating, designating items and verbs and telling people that this is how we establish relationships with each other.
This is how, you know, how we make friends, all these kinds of things.
And so, like you said, it's a feature, not a bug.
Yeah.
I don't know, to be honest.
I heard some indication that there might be another number, but I'm not sure that that's really the case.
So I think we have to, you know, wait and see.
