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. > This, what these "adults" are showing is imaturity in themselves, > taking automatically to conclusion that we, as 13 yr olds, are > stupider then them, ^^^^ 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. > and we can not do just as god, or BETTER work them them. ^^^ ^^^^ 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. > This, is just as bad as racism or sexism, maybe there is > such a thing as ageism. 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.
