Before the pandemic, I was living in London shared flat with my partner and a friend of ours. Had quite a busy social life, working in an office in Soho.

Since the pandemic I have moved out of the city and into a more rural isolated area (Did not see any benefit to paying high rent prices in a city when all the facilities were shut down). All of my work has moved to remote working using video conferencing etc.

Before we would use Slack a lot, but in-person meetings were a common occurence and I would spend quite a lot of time outside of work with friends or colleagues discussing various topics.

Since being in this isolated environemnt I feel that because those interactions are far more rare when they do happen I struggle to recall words or phrases that were once commonplace in my vernacular.

This is all very anecdotal evidence of course, but it's somethig i've observed in myself of a number of occasions now.
