Why older and younger people need to talk to each other

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

Did you know older people speak a different language to younger?
The same words, and the same order to them, but often with completely different meanings.

Did you know older people speak a different language to younger?
The same words, and the same order to them, but often with completely different meanings.

I have a friend, in her 80’s, who used to be a teacher, and is a firm believer in saying exactly what one means, and meaning exactly what one says. As do most older people I know.

That’s not to say younger people don’t. The problem comes when modern language rules meets older language simplicity. And how this can lead to distress on all parts.

My friend hired a professional arborist, to take care of some problem trees, vines and bushes on her property.

My friend explained that the offending plants needed removing, because they had become so overgrown as to be out of anyone’s ability to control them and it was a constant recurring issue.

Through face to face, txt and email, with photos, they agreed that the problems would be removed. And that’s where the communication fell down.

My friend left the arborist to remove the plants, and carried on about her day. When it came time to pick up her grandchild from school, she passed the arborist, packing up. Finished. My friend glanced over to the part of the garden where one of the problems was, saw nothing there and agreed to pay the invoice.

When she came home and went to show her granddaughter the clearing she could now run around in, she discovered the arborist had only chopped the overgrowth off and left the stumps and trunks to regrow.

This was not what my friend asked for. She asked for the problem plants to be removed.

When queried the arborist said “that’s what I did”.

I have asked other younger people and they agree with her. I asked older people and they disagree with her. As do I.

Why? Simple. If I go to a doctor who tells me I have a tumour that must be removed, I really don’t want the visible part cut off and the root left to regrow. Would you?

Younger people, talk, and listen to older people. Don’t filter their words through your dictionary. And older, people you have to learn to clarify what you say. Ask for feedback, don’t just assume what you said has the same meaning for the young person you are talking to, as it would for your elderly friends.

It wouldn’t hurt you to learn a few new colloquialisms.

Perhaps we need an evolving “Then to Now” dictionary/thesaurus. After all, language is a living thing, and all living things evolve.

A beautiful summers day, for the first day of the 2023 school year.

Take care out there, everyone. And drivers, stay OFF your phones, even if you aren’t moving. If you are on the road it is illegal, dangerous and stupid to be on your phone.

If you must still use them, learn how to do it handsfree. My kid can. Why can’t you?

And you really don’t need to drive all the way to the school gates to drop them off and pick them up.

If they can manage manouvering around the school, like Olympian’s, during the day, they can manage manoeuvring to the car, a street or 2 away.

Don’t park in the bus stops. Every school week, every year, outside every school, people park in the bus stops. The sections of Guthrie Rd, either side of Nimon St, are BUS STOPS, between 2.45 and 3.30pm. DO NOT PARK IN THEM! No, you won’t be just a couple of minutes. Yes, it is a HUGE problem. Don’t do it. Outside any school.

If you don’t want to sit in traffic for an hour, waiting for your precious cargo, park further away. I leave to pick mine up at 3pm. When his school finishes. I’m home by 3.15pm. And there are 3 schools in the one block. 2 with entrances right next to each other, in a cul de sac with access to the third.

I park 2 streets away. And the same cars are still sitting there, when I leave, as when I arrived, and they are no closer to the school.

Stop BEING the traffic you are so worried about.
