Are Kids saying this? I haven't heard it. It sounds like toddler speak.

Yeah. And yeah it does.

However when I was young in the late 80s adults were always complaining about the way we spoke, so I guess I'll refrain from doing the same thing to young people now

I, briefly, participated in a journalism camp for a large state newspaper where I live and the guiding advice was to, "write targeting a 6th grade education".

That was 15 years ago, I can only imagine it's lower now.
