Still you cannot exclude me, as well as those who are 5, 10, 15, ... years older than I (and also 5 and 10 years younger,) from the total amount of living native speakers. As soon as we live (and I hope I'll yet dance at somebody's funeral ;-))), those words are in use, even if you, your peers, your social group and your age stratum already forget them. So, once again: speak for yourself and avoid needless generalizations, young man :-)
