not that I’ve noticed recently, but I suppose everyone’s is always changing on some level. the last time it happened to me noticeably was in my 20s when I went from a lifelong hip hop fan to becoming more immersed in and participating in hip hop activities and events; my use of its idioms and just ebonics generally became my everyday mode. this was really gradual, though. starting at 18 to present levels at around age 28 or so.
come to think of it, my Southern idiom uptake was like that, too, but shifted later; maybe ages 26 to 37ish I guess. this includes accent and idiom. I remember hearing myself say “aisle” in the grocery when I was about 28 and it coming out as “ahh’l.”
“That’s new,” I thought.
incidentally, that same pronunciation is the correct way to say “owl” around this region, too.
So, sounds like, compared to y’all, mine is more glacially-paced but far more pronounced.
my handwriting has gone through several phases, too. I want to say I settled into what it is now in my later college days. my high school hand looks nothing like it, nor my elementary school hand, either. that’s probably common? but mine are all really different from each other.
the biggest recent change for me (and everyone) is using reaction images/memes and pictures generally on the internet to communicate rather than words. the impact of this will probably be studied by historians assuming we all survive the apocalypse.
