【Watch Mary Carey All Babe Network (2013)】

Attention millennials (and everyone else): The Watch Mary Carey All Babe Network (2013)editors of the Wall Street Journalhave admitted to their own faulty use of the term "millennials," per a post in the Style & Substance section on Monday.

In exactly 300 words, the memo explained why they're changing their tune. They define their own use of "millennials" as "snide shorthand" and "snotty" within the pages of the paper.

"What we usually mean is young people, so we probably should just say that," the memo reads. "Many of the habits and attributes of millennials are common for people in their 20s, with or without a snotty term."

Of course, they aren't the only ones who use the term. In past three days alone, Mashable published at least two stories on millennials:

• For millennials, sending your first text message was a rite of passage

• Women over 50 see sexual harassment very differently than millennials

The change doesn't appear to be a complete ban. The section of the post is titled "Millennial misstep," so we can expect the Journal will be using the term less and instead opt to be more precise.

"Occasionally, we’ve referred to millennials when we really meant teenagers," the memo reads.

TBD if other outlets do the same, as GQ's Joel Pavelski suggested. He previously worked at Mic, the self-described news site for millennials.
