I am NOT a child, so how DARE they mock me like that. The short version: Some folk don't care, others don't know any better, but if you suspect the person you're talking to is over 40, I would strongly recommend you avoid this style of address - unless of course you WANT to mock them.
I'm always amazed at the human capacity to take offense. Of course, I'm
on social media, so it shouldn't surprise me.
Anyway, take a breath, maybe go out and touch grass. It was me he was
addressing, and I don't feel mocked. And I'm well over 40.
