Patrick.... you are working on a totally wrong impression.... there is nobody here that would berate you for just being 14, it's the way you are PERCEIVED, when all we know about you are your typed words.... I'll give you a PERFECT example.... scroll through the threads, and find the one about PEG'S PETS.... in that thread, you will find some posts by a 14 year old GIRL!! She is probably the most intelligent, well-spoken, rational, educated, and street-smart 14 year old you'll ever want to meet! And her typing and spelling skills (at 14) are IMPECCABLE!! If she had written to me about buying one of my animals, and she didn't mention her age.... she'd have that animal on her doorstep TOMORROW! The point being, it's not how old you are, it's how old you are PERCEIVED!!
I'm 50, and FAR from perfect! If I don't know (or am unsure) of the spelling of a certain word.... I have a DICTIONARY sitting RIGHT HERE! I USE IT! That's the only way you're ever going to learn and get better.... and, above all.... RE-READ WHAT YOU JUST TYPED BEFORE YOU HIT.... "ADD REPLY"! You'll be amazed at what you'll be able to find AND FIX, BEFORE you put your words out into the WORLD for ETERNITY!! Is that the way YOU want to be remembered?? I don't think so, or you wouldn't be putting up a fight to get your "name" back!
Again.... it really doesn't matter if you breed the rarest snakes in the world! If you can't communicate with the people that want to BUY your snakes.... they WILL NOT BUY THEM!
The MOST IMPORTANT thing you could do for yourself right now.... even if you have to ask your parents for help.... DO NOT send anything out, BEFORE IT IS PERFECT!! You will be AMAZED at the amount of increased respect you will get from everybody! Take your time, think about what you want to say, type it down quickly, then.... GO BACK OVER IT WORD BY WORD!! How many times have you seen posts by ADULTS who can't spell and don't know the correct way to form a legible sentence?? They are PERCEIVED as being "not so bright".... would YOU rather deal with someone who might have trouble grasping the concept of a new idea, or someone with PERCEIVED intelligence?? It's a no-brainer, isn't it?
With your "go gettem" attitude.... you could probably really make a niche for yourself in this business.... IN THE FUTURE!! For NOW.... LEARN ENGLISH and the proper way to use it, and, obviously, learn how to spell.... if you can understand that I'm REALLY only trying to help you.... try following my advice, and see how well it works!
Good luck!
....Neil
