The most current change in the language is the role that youth has in shaping the language. In America slang is used by the youth while slang used by older generations disappears unless brought back by those wishing to be retro. Changing grammar however is the newest trend in Japan. Using informal speech and ignoring honorifics and shortening words are widely accepted by the younger generations while the older members of society are appalled with this “lack of respect” for the language.
