I must have been like 7 when I started proof-reading, right after my work got put up on the wall, in class, telling everyone that I wore "Teeshits." Not my best moment.
Yeah, I was avoiding it, but I tend to click anything that appears on my friendslist when I'm bored.
I'm only 16, going on 17, myself so I try not to be biased towards the age of someone, but seriously if you're 31 and you can't proofread you need to die.
I went to look at the user info ... and wanted to cry. (Totally agree with your icon!)
I find that there are great writers of all ages - and crappy writers of all ages, too. The crappy writers that are "older girls" (mid-20s +) make me (and the Baby Jesus) want to cry. Betas (and spell-check) are such good things. Very good things.
