Well it seems that you are not very "brite" at spelling in spite of
the 8 years (or more ?) of "experiance" of tuition/schooling that
you had have already. I was taught to spell excellently in my second
year of my very first primary school.

It is not a matter of stupidity but one of comprehension.

One cannot do University study straight out of Kindergarten unless
you are a child prodigy.

Most students get their first Internet account at their University
not at school or home where they should be fully supervised in their
use of computers and especially the Net and newsgroups.

At this time in your development you should be using the K12
Hierarchy on the Net which is specifically provided for those
people of school age who learning to use the Net. Schools provide
K12 and teacher supervision.

The Usenet newsgroups, like this one are for ADULTS not
CHILDREN...sorry but that is the reality. There are no hierarchies
or newsgroups for children with the exception of K12. Ask your
schoolteachers about K12.

You don't know how silly and almost infantile you are making
yourself appear, although I doubt you are that bad, by repeatedly
using your silly arguments and _atrocious_ spelling for a 13 year old.

IMPORTANT: Please get one thing crystal clear:.

Nobody on the Net has any obligation to educate you in the use of
the Net and its many activities including newsgroups. 
Everything that people do on the Net is completely free and voluntary 
and they are in no way required to answer you, help you, or tolerate you.

Some folks will try to help you, others will flame you. 

Personally I do not think children should use these newsgroups 
unsupervised by teachers and parents/guardians. That is only my personal
opinion and most of the things that appear in newsgroups are often just
that...personal opinions.


It your position it is a question of learning to walk before you can
run, knowing how to spell before you can write properly, and working
up through the grades necessary for mature adulthood and
participation in the adult newsgroups of the Net.


And yes, there _is_ ageism...it becomes increasingly harder to find
work and to remain sufficiently healthy and wealthy as age increases.


So...please...follow Veronica Karlsson's advice and try not to become
either a problem child and, maybe, a problem adult later.

Do your parents/guardians and teachers know you here are on the Net?

Are you under their supervision and advice?  Do you heed and follow
their help and advice when they give it?


Here once again, to remind you is Veronica's advice to you. She also
tried to help Sarah Day.

You might do well to start with number 5) in her list:
