What is the average age of A2Kers?

@dirrtydozen22,

Ok, I pop on this thread to give my age and again DD22 is the middle of a fight. I go back to find the cause and again it is because DD22 has misunderstood a remark. I see a pattern. DD22, there is no way Setanta was trying to insult you with his comment. It was a general comment to all of us here because sometimes we act our age and sometimes we act like children. You took it personally. But rather than ask him to explain the statement you insult him. Now Setanta get insulted and strikes back and WHAM! the fur really flies. DD22, you are a danger to yourself. Someone is going to shoot you one day. Really. Have you been checked for excessive testosterone ? It's possible your hormones are out of wack and causing this rage and jumping to conclusions.

By the way, I'm 47. How old are you?

@dirrtydozen22,

I know you're a woman and women have testosterone, too. It can be out of balance, as can estrogen. Women who have gone through menopause can tell you all about it, but it can happen at any age.

@dirrtydozen22,

I found this in a rather long, dull article about hormones:

Quote:

Take testosterone in a prison. Dabbs' team found that criminal violence and aggressive dominance among women in prison is linked to higher levels of testosterone. An earlier study of male inmates found testosterone levels to be highest among male inmates convicted of violent crimes such as rape, murder and assault. Variables such as age, social factors and other hormones were seen as important in these studies.

Looks a lot more like self-depreciating humor to me, saying he's more mentally immature or silly than he is chronologically.

That was my read, I could be wrong but I see it as so obvious that I find it hard to imagine how it could be taken as an insult.

@dirrtydozen22,

Don't worry about Setanata's rants about grammar, DD. He doesn't know what he's talking about. His own knowledge of English grammar is minimal, at best.

First, Dick, i am free to respond to any thread i see. Second, Clown, i don't much interest in responding to you since you chose to gratuitously insult me. Third, your command of standard English continues to suck. That's not a problem for me, but it does explain to a certain extent the contempt i entertain for you.

No one, not a person on the planet always uses Standard English when they speak and what happens at these types of forums is that, though responses are written, they are more in the form of speech.

@JTT,

Set...since JTT decided to get involved in this...I thought I would post this for you. It is a copy of some comments I just posted to a third party in another thread where I have been "discussing" English grammar with JTT:

Quote:

I am certainly not arguing that grammar is static...or inflexible...or even that it is not presumptuous to suppose some forms of communication are "superior" to others.

But I am arguing that there is, whether rightly or wrongly, such a thing as “good or acceptable or standard” English grammar and “not so good, not so acceptable or non-standard” English grammar.

I am also arguing that there ARE language scholars who agree with that.

JTT here is arguing that there is no such thing...and that NOT A SINGLE language scholar on the planet says that there is!

He are full of ****.

This went from a reasonable discussion with I making all sorts of concessions...and it making none at all--to farce.

But me want to emphasize what me said earlier...he (JTT) are full of ****.

Second, grammar nazi, I don't give a **** about standard English. Just cuz you have a good command of it don't make you all that. You only harp on ppl's text message style of writing because you outlived your own time so you bitch about **** you can't even read.

It ain't the 50's anymore. Either adapt to change or jump off the bridge.

I suppose that your sensitivity and rants are a product of your young age. You created a thread and invited input. Someone asks a question (although you take it personally and out of context). You respond in a juvenile manner. The older poster takes exception to your infantile approach, thus casusing them to look a bit immature as well. You go back and forth and waste time and energy.

Oh, btw. I am on facebook. Wink

And.... to answer your question a few pages back. I was born on Valentine's day not as a result of anything that you suggested. I was born on that day due to the sexual appetite of my parents at the time of my conception. I like to think that it was planned.

As you can see on this thread, one's age does not equal one's maturity level. Really, age is just a number.

I've been on Facebook for a few months now. Still finding it entertaining.
Myspace, never.

How in the world do I calculate my average age?

@JLNobody,

It's the sum of all your ages each year, divided by the years you've had a different age.
