You are not alone in noticing this.  There have been several comments about it.  I even wrote one.  I don't understand what the deal is.  Are they on something?  Are they really young?  Are they from another country?  Or are they just illiterate?  Who knows, but it's really annoying.

THANK YOU!!  I agree with you.  There does seem to be a sort of typed slang that is difficult to decipher. I do not know the age group of these people that engage in it. If it is the youth of today, they are keeping the adults out of their answer pool. It functions as an electronic barrier.\n\nIt is just another symptom of the newest "gap" those who have been raised on or (worse) by a computer and those who have been raised by the traditional family. The generational gap is fading, into this newest gap, don't you think?

I think its a good idea to see an age just so some of us old guys who are on here dont get friendly with the kids. If I know Im talking to a kid I stop sometimes you dont know its a kid, there are adults on here too.\n I even went as far as going to the bottom of the answers page and asked them to consider a room for us older people.Yahoo has a suggestion link. \n I see your point cause there are weirdo's out there....but for me, if I know its a kid,,,I dont get involved\n ALSO IF THERE ARE ANYMORE people out therewho are older it would not hurt to send a comment to yahoo asking for a old people place. Adults and kids both would be happy if they had it

There are a lot of younger ones on here that do not have the knowledge or experience to answer those kinds of question.  I have found some people here that do have the expertise for that type of question, just that they don't have the time to be on here a lot so many good question get little or no response.

There are people of all ages on line (on this site) and some of the ones that sound young ARE NOT; however, the people that sound older usually ARE, because it is easier to sound immature than it is to fake maturity.  OK, you guessed it, I'm not Bud but you did ask that some light be shed on this, so I thought I would put in my two cents worth anyway!\nGod Bless!... I hope you find a few more "refreshing people" on this site!

I am male, 55, and I think it's a great idea. There are a lot of singles on here, both male and female. Most of them are wonderful people too. Some send you e-mails telling you they appreciate the advice, and are almost like family. Great place to make new friends, and possibly more. Who knows?

I can always tell when teenagers are on this site (after school and weekends). But I would think at least half of the people on here are the younger generation.

Nope, never saw the point of it. Fancy message board for kids... God I sound old....\n\nlol

I can understand...from what I have seen on this site, there are more people asking questions trying to get attention or be "cute" than that really need help. (Not saying this about you...just in general). Same goes for people answering the questions...Can't tell you how many "I don't know"s I have read on here as answers. Immatuirty sums it up in a word.

man do i agree, I'm 58 and  although Ive gotten some savy responses from you younger folk , most of the time i"m not sure if my responders even have a clue as to what I'm asking do to their poor reading comprehension. for example above me is  "Young hot scank"'s   non responsive reply... who needs that ?? totally childish remark , yeah maybe you misspelled a word, but your question was quite clear.

One of the best things about this site is that anyone of any age (well 13+), sex, religion, nation or country of national origin can use it.  I learn a lot from some of the most childish questions and sometimes a child my not have access or feel comfortable with talking to an adult, but will post a question here.\n\nThis is not a chat room.  It is an experiment in cyber community relations.  Perhaps yahoo would expand their catagories to include some which specifically say Adult Relations and not just Friends and Family or Love and Romance.\n\nSure How much wood and Why is the sky questions are a pain in the patootie.  Don't answer them, skip and move on.  Remember this is still a beta sight which usually means Under Construction or Development.\n\nYou might contact the Yahoo Answers team directly.

Nope I can assure of that. Even though a lot of people are immature and say stupid things in response to questions like they were on myspace or AIM or something. Just check out Marilyn Vos Savant's featured question, thats where all the older people are hanging out.

I am older (over 40), but I think most of the people have limited life experience.  The questions show it.

Just keep in mind that 95% of the participants are less than 17 years old, and you'll realize its funny.  The demographic of people on the web is really young.

Most of these are young ones who are extremely lazy, I'm guessing.  What's the point in spending two minutes of research when you could spend 20 seconds typing out the question and letting someone else do the work?\n\nIf you visit the love categories and all the questions there, you can tell the age.
