That's how the cool people do it
From EngVid, a lesson on writing an informal e-mail. The teacher makes a little joke at the end of the video.
And remember, when you're typing, if you say "'Sup" or "Yo", you got to roll up your sleeves because that's how the cool people do it. "'Sup Alex?"
Why does the teacher use "the" in "the cool people"? What does the definite article imply?
