Are teens now allowed on our main world? It doesn't bother me if they are, but I have not been paying much attention to forum news/discussions so I may have missed something. If they are allowed, are they allowed here on forums?

No. Teens are not allowed on the main grid and main grid forums until they reach 18 years old when they transfer over.

If I had, your English would have been a lot better than it is.

Teens are not supposed to be allowed on the main grid, but of course anyone can lie on the application and say they're over 18.

Teens are not supposed to be in the forums, but it's certainly possible that if there's bugs in the forum software it might well be allowing them in.

They have always been there - teens should never have any comprehension of the word "allowed" - it is outside of their normal frame of reference.

This teacher was Welsh and around 40. This would be around 1996. Taught Grammar. Hated me. He was there a couple of years. Imagine, what a small world, eh? And I mean it seriously. You sound so like him. I was just a kid. He got on at me one day coz I tore out some pages of my notebook coz he didnt think I was tidy enough for him. Then he caught me at a local pub with a bloke.

Helloooo Mr. "G"!!!!

If you think my rping of schoolteachers is good you should see what I do with my parts in snuff movies!

Seriously, were/are YOU a teacher/tutor? Wouldn't it be hilarious if you were? And you actually taught me? I swear you sound just like him - all that cynical stuff and "dark sarcasm in the classroom" - you sound just like him. Okay, and I sat in the "golden spot" coz you made me since you wanted to keep you eye on my behaviour. That's the seat about midway in the class and to YOUR right slightly as YOU explained to all of us so I was always in your line of sight. I'll never forget that. No, I didnt have a crush on you, I was defiant and enjoyed acting up on you.
And you used to tell us all those stories about when you were a kid in Tryffid ) or some Welsh town) and YOUR teacher used to throw a chalkboard eraser or something at pupils who weren't paying attention.
It's your whole demeanour - you're just him to a "T"!! It's clicked now.

Shouldn't that have been "would be"?

or else "than it was"

(don't feel badly, Pep. Sequence of tenses trips up many ppl.)

Not a chance in hell! I have never been interested in associating with pubescent self-obsessed nymphets, not even when I *was* a teenager. :eek:

Oh God, don't him started. I reckon (read above) he is my old English teacher and Thursday afternoon's nightmare. Ask him about "estuary English" and see him explode.

I reckon he's got a smile on his face now coz he's madly typing away about the decline and fall of the English language.

If you expand the sentence to "If I had (taught you), your English would have been a lot better (now) than it is." then you will see that I am perfectly correct.

Pep (Don't worry; it *is* difficult.)

Yep. That's my prep school English grammar teacher all right.
Now tell him about all possessive apostrophes and how they are key to English. Go on! I dare you.
Mind you, grudgingly I will admit I loved English language and writing. You just didnt know it.

I knew a possessive apostrophe. His name was Pierre.

If you were really Jig, this would be titled:

"Teens on SL - Are they on and having sex?"

So who are you and what have you done to Jig? :eek:

Yes teens are on the main grid, cause as far as I know, 18 and 19 year olds are also teens

:D

Sex education was my favourite subject at school - seriously. Pity was, there were no exams and no marks - we just sat there and played with Stiffy models and cheapo condoms for the boyz and explored more about our female "biology" than any of us cared to know. The teacher was disgustingly bright about it all. I reckon they volunteered.

Teen and sex - Hmm - can I ask that in PG? Check with Pep! hahaha.

I disagree. It would have been clearer if you had said:

"If I had (taught you), your English would BE a lot better (now) than it is."
