I'm also not comatose. When a message uses no upper case (or all uppercase) has little regard for syntax, punctuation or grammar, you can bet the farm the author is not a mature adult, let alone a senior citizen. And there's also a certain tone you can detect in the messages of the very young. "Help" and "it's a matter of death and life" are dead giveaways, not only of the age of the writer but the sex. Men just don't write that way - especially older men. And they don't spell thanks, "thanx". Usually, all you have to do to get a fairly accurate picture of the author of a message is to read it.
You do read, don't you Schwitters?
Or do you just throw around meaningless catch phrases like "Ageism"?
Like I say, when you don't learn to think for yourself at an early age, it doesn't just come to you with time.
