Why dose every one keep asking if I am 19. Do I talk like I much younger.



So say what you want
(You know I'm wasting all my time)
You've gotta mean it when you say what you want
(You're only safe when you're alone)
And everybody's on your mind
Saying anything to get you by

Not necessarily younger, but in incomplete sentences and sentence fragments. You're putting periods where none should go and missing prepositions and pronouns left and right.

That would be my guess as to why the question's been raised, at any rate.

Sorry I tend to write how I think. That would be the reason I’m in remedial English.

The reason I asked was that I misread something you wrote -- I thought you said you were at school but had not yet started at undergraduate-level college. In the UK, being at "school" almost always means you are 18 or younger; on the other hand, over here there are different sorts of college and you can be at "college" from age 16 upwards. Only "university" always means 17/18+.

It was a misunderstanding due to cultural differences, as much as anything, and I'm sorry if I offended you.

I have to agree with Adam, though, that while your writing style doesn't necessarily mean you are younger, fragmentary sentences, large numbers of typos, spelling and punctuation errors are more common in young people (especially teenagers). That was not the principal reason I asked, but it was a factor.

You did not offend me in any way. I just noted there was another time some one asked the same question. Just want an answer to why.
