People just don't talk like that anymore - I kinda miss that 40s/50s American style. Now we're just kinda using slang and buzzwords. Pronunciation has declined as well.

Unless it was one of those 50s movies with punk "kids" (you know, 30 year olds playing high-school kids) - then it was nothing but slang and "hey daddy-o" and...oh hell, just get off my lawn.

Very true. I'm re-watching the episodes of Get Smart and they actually are very careful about their usage of "who" vs. "whom".

That's as far as I ever got with my programming, at Purdue University in 1978, on a Univac the size of a house.....
