@ptz@nostupidquestions Oh no. I don't think I default to the Tucker Carlson confused face, but I'm a little worried that I might. I just signed on to a Teams meeting and my CEO immediately asked me why I looked confused.
@Kory@asklemmy I'm 38. To me people older than that are objectively older people. I can't think of anyone younger than 45 with whom I've had this problem.
@enbyecho@asklemmy Well, geriatric pregnancies start at age 35, so it's really a flexible adjective. If you took it incorrectly, that's on you.
Based on the mixed responses I'm getting, it is not an established stereotype that older people write emails and text messages poorly. If I knew it was then I wouldn't have asked if others had similar experiences to mine in the first place.
@MissJinx@asklemmy I wasn't sure of the right word to use. Geriatric seemed correct enough. To be clear, I don't think there's anything especially wrong or bad about my elders. I just think there might be some kind of technological and cultural collision happening that makes me feel like I'm crazy sometimes.
