It really doesn't matter how old somebody *is*. It's more important how
old they *behave*. I remember Martin Atkins announcing his birthday and
somebody asking "how old?" and him replying "15". Everybody was shocked!
He didn't *act* like a 14-year-old. The person here he was most like was
Colin, who was close to 70 when he died last year...

So you know this person from some other group?

There is no big connection between spelling and grammar and age. E.g. my
spelling was better when I was ten years old than it is now! (because
then I read many books, now I read Usenet, and then I wrote essays as
part of my school work, which were criticised and corrected for spelling
mistakes by my teacher)

General good advice would be "kids don't belong on Usenet" and "don't
_tell_ people your age". Looking for special treatment because one is
young is not a good idea.
