Evidence that you're getting oldYouthful as I am, I realised yesterday that I no-longer know, or care, who is #1 in the charts. Furthermore, it takes all day to get rid of a hangover and I now seem to have a profound interest in gardening. Worst is that I now use words like 'furthermore'.
What makes you think that you are getting old?

One of my friends has addressed me as "Ancient," though that may have just been an extreme drunk mispronounciation of my real name, Iän.Among friends I am renowned as a grammar and punctuation Nazi. I know, for example, the difference between hyphens and dashes, diaereses and umlauts, what a ligature is, and how to use the medial s (as in "ſwing ſtates"). Also, I want to murder everyone who pluralizes words with apostrophes, especially "it's."
In a similar vein, I'm also a stickler for valid W3C CSS and XHTML markup (Which b3ta DOES NOT HAVE! Grr!).
At my age, sound financial decisions are completely ricockulous and unheard of, yet I'm about to put a good sum of cash into an IRA (Individual Retirement Account). Retirement!
I am seventeen.
