Fair enough, but they also need to be able to adapt. Even if this "is a thing", it doesn't bode well for those who can't cope with "the old ways".

surely, you mean LOL?
They're a fairly newfangled invention, they kept falling on and out of use for a long time.
Effectively the main punctuation we know, love and ignore, settled in a round 1400.

int a = 0;
if (a = 1)
{
printf("\n Failure");
}

}
return;
After all, there's only one wafer thin character missing to give the desired result (I think!)

It isn't just English that people use colloquial words instead of the official word.
