Do you feel that your vocabulary is smaller than your elders?

Asked by blastfamy (2174points) August 31st, 2008

I have heard about studies indicating that young people will know thousands less words than older generations. This may be linked to a drop in reading as a form of entertainment (generally speaking). Is there something that should be done to combat this? What effects do you think this will have on the overall intelligence level of mankind?

Your thoughts?
