I never have been, nor will I ever be, impressed by a person spouting dictionary definitions.


They're facts. Walk up to any person in the street and ask them for the definition of a teenager, and see if you get a different answer. I'm not exactly sure what you will trust if you won't trust a common definition found across all major English dictionaries.

It literally says ager. Why is this a question? It lasts from the moment you enter your teens, AKA when you turn 10, until you turn 20, and are thus out of your teens and into your twenties. What you guys are talking about is , which starts at puberty (12-13) and ends at 18 (when you enter adulthood).


Look that up in the dictionary and tell me what it says.

teenager
Syllabification: teen·ag·er
Pronunciation: /ˈtēnˌājər

/
noun

a person aged from 13 to 19 years.


None of the definitions I found gave even remote mention to ten. Or twelve. It's commonly agreed that the term for teenager is applied to youths aged from 13 to 19. Not 10, not 12, but 13 to 19.

My classes have a two skip policy. Skip once, it's okay. Skip twice, you fail.If I have to, I'll take a lost limb over not graduating in May. I just won't be happy about it.


Where the hell do you go to school?

Then again, maybe I'm just in the right degree program. I've only had one class that required attendance, and then even failing that wouldn't affect my GPA (it was one of those study skills classes).
Twelve is decidedly pre-teen. Thirteen is a teenager.

And despite being an adult, 19 is far from being considered not a teenager. No longer an adolescent, yes, but still a teenager.

Anyway, Happy Birthday Antarctic Termite. Enjoy being fifteen for another 365 days.

Given the post character limit is as small as it is now


Chill out. The limit is 65k characters, which is more than adequate for the typical post. Mahz has addressed this issue before, it's an architecture limit at the moment, and it's hardly a pressing concern. It will likely be fixed in the future, well before any system outlined here comes into being.
University of Minnesota Duluth has canceled classes tomorrow.

University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities is still on. So all the Pharmacy students up here at UMD, who take their classes via ITV at the Twin Cites, still have to attend.

I love Minnesota.

I don't mean Star Wars specifically, i mean, my characters in general, if they are around long enough, they either get beaten to within an inch of their lives, or they vomit everywhere... Call it a Right-of-Passage...


I would be seriously surprised if any Jedi could escape the Jedi Temple during Knightfall and not take on major injuries. I think your level of character destruction is completely acceptable based on the odds that the story has pit them against.
