Can you spot a persons age by the way they type?

i dont think you can really guess somebodys age.  but you can pretty accurately guess their maturity.  i dont mind dealing with younger kids, as long as theyre mature.  and ive met plenty of 30+ yr olds that have the maturity of a 12 yr old. i'd rather talk to sqeakers..

Not really, but I can tell when someone, usually a young smartass, is being pretentious by using large, complicated words in a feeble attempt to hide their actual immaturity. Words cannot express how much it irritates me.

My younger brother is a prime example of this.

 

I Can Tell If Someone Has Just A Really Obnoxious, In-Your-Face Personality When They Type Like This All Of The Time.

 

 

12-year olds have a habit of abbreviating words that ought not to be abbreviated.

 

teenage girls in their cliquey angsty, and possibly ValleyGirl phase when they start repetitiously using "omg" and "like" and "totally". They really piss me off.

 

Illiterate 19-year-old high school dropouts usually misspell or mispronounce half their words, (words that my 3rd grade teacher would have cursed me into the ground for misspelling), and then when you call them out they usually respond with something like "shuddafukup fagut."

 

There are also the older people out there, you know, the ones who for whatever reason, are still living in the 60s, 70s and 80s, and are of the firm opinion that people who are more than 10 years younger than them don't know their ass from a hole in the ground, and use that as justification to condescend and belittle them, and to reject their valid points of view as ridiculous and of no worth. Because we all know that age is the end-all, be-all measure of wisdom, intelligence and authority these days, don't we?

 

Any fool should be able to spot them instantly - you can see the sarcastic chiding oozing and dripping from the text.

 

love it

It's actually kinda fun to mess with them. Makes me laugh, and it inflates their egos! We win, and everyone else wins!

Yes definitely, different age groups have vastly different mannerisms and lingo. You can usually get a decent ballpark estimate from just a couple minutes of conversation.

yes their voice is grating, but as long as they dont try to talk shit and can actually hold a conversation its not so bad.  ive helped out a few in mmos and stuff and gotten them on skype to help better, only to find out theyre like 12, voice sucks sure. but they were focusing on learning and actually trying to better themselves, its totally okay. shooters are a different story though.. they just get annoying

I completely agree with you 100%. I'm all for helping out anyone despite their age, but the moment they are bitching, yelling, ect. I just go. "nope.jpg" and mute them. LOL

Yes, I often try, but i always miss by a land slide. It's hard to read people. :(

And text makes it harder still, for me at least. 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

I've been in situations where I've been frustrated at a "12" year old then, after some dissuasion, found out they were actually 20 or so.

Also, what's my age?
