What are some examples of how age influences verbal communication?

What will be an ideal response?

Young children, adolescents and adults use different words to express themselves. For example, young children might use words like "cooties" or "poo poo" where adults would use "head lice" or "bowel movement." Teenagers use words to feel connected to their peers and separate themselves from adults, like "cool," "sick," "righteous," or "bad."
