My ten year old now has difficulty understanding the spoken word and more lately, with pronunciation. How can it be otherwise when for a full third of their lives to this point that have been denied the right to hear their native language spoken clearly, with out a minimum of at least one mask better the speaker and their ears and not being able to see the movements of the speakers’ mouths?

That, and the junk on tik tok and social media. Like the Roman Empire, in its day, the used the collaseum to "program" the population to the views the ruling party wanted them to have.

We've seen differences here too.

That plays a part too, but not in my kid’s case. They have no access to that junk.
