    Age
In summary, the conversation revolves around the ages of the members in a forum. The initial speaker, who is 31, wonders if the majority of the members are younger than him. The conversation then goes on to reveal the ages of various members, ranging from 13 to 97. Some members joke about their age, while others express surprise about the true ages of certain members. The conversation ends with the members playfully teasing each other about their ages.

Says the Seventeen year old?

Moonbear and I are further apart in age than you two. And we're a couple of old farts (sorry Moonbear, I admit I'm fartier.)

OH. Well, by all means then. :smile: :smile:

(yomamma, you're not the youngest. My eight year old occasionally contributes to my posts. And I know that you don't play with trucks anymore, except maybe the ones on the computer games.)

Yes, I've always sensed an essentially ante-bellum world outlook underpinning your posts.

Even when you try to stress yourself or stress any others, the truth I believe is still there in my head, but anyway, I guess you are still 59. :wink:

Many pop-ups in different forums you :partially: own in the Internet have no relation to a family tree people have in hand.

I am 33 living in Japan.:wink:

not too far from 25

Hey, we're almost the same age (three months apart). You have a pretty hot boyfriend, by the way.

Yes, I'm allowed to say that.

Wait a second. If you're 20, you can buy cigarettes, can't you? You can in California. I distinctly remember buying cigarettes for my friends in high school after being the first to turn 18.

Not in Florida, as far as I know. I'm pretty sure its 21.

Damn, do you guys have anything going for you aside from no state income tax? I suppose South Beach is supposed to be pretty nice.

Wait? If he thinks the legal age to buy cigarettes is 21, and the legal age to drink is 21, and he'll said he'll be able to do both in less than a year, that means he's 20.

How old are you?

Scroll up, LYN. "871 more days..."

I did the math from 21 and zero days. His birthdate is also on his user profile.

Ah crap. The GD effect perfectly illustrated.

So you aren't going to say how old you are, are you?

Oh, turns out I can legally smoke! Not that I'd want too. My dad smokes and I remind him everyday how I'll have to explain to his grandchildren why they don't have a grandfather (atleast only one, anyway).

I'll be 19 December 27th. So I'll be 21 in roughly 870 days (pasted midnight were I live), unless there is a leap year soon or I just plain calculated wrong.

The units-manipulation rhetoric device

By the way, loseyourname, this reminds me of a rhetoric device I learned a few years ago. Using smaller units, even though they force the use of larger quantification, can make an audience think in terms of smallness — and vice versa. (Maybe the subconscious mind thinks, "Well, if it can be measured in units that small, it must not be very large.")

For example, a corporation trying to downplay its own size in a given PR instance might say it has $800 million in annual sales. In another PR instance, that same corporation might say it as four-fifths of a billion dollars in annual sales. (If the sales can be measured in billions, they must be big, right?)

Chevrolet, trying to convince its European customers of how good a job it did in reducing the length of the 2005 Corvette, might say the car has a length of 175.0 inches. (If it can be measured in inches, it must be short.) Porsche might reply by saying the car is grossly long at over 14 feet. (If it can be measured in feet, it must be very long, indeed.) In fact, the latest Corvette is so long it streches over 2 3/4 thousandths of a mile, from bumper to bumper. How many other cars can be measured in units of miles?
