Yes, I understand that "adolecent teenager" is contradictory, I just wanted to know if anyone would notice....
Thank god there are still some smart people in the world.

Um... I'm a teen and I know how to spell, use correct English, and use punctuation. However, I won't take offense and point out that you didn't capitalize English...
Haha... LOL. Well, I have seen plenty of other people-- no matter their age-- who don't use proper English on here... Also, there's a difference between proper English and regular, every day English... :-)

I'll venture out to say...50%
Speaking of proper English... isn't adolescent teenagers a redundant statement??
ad·o·les·cent (Äd'l-Äs'Ént) : A young person who has undergone puberty but who has not reached full maturity; a teenager.

What an excellent question. I would like to THINK that the poor English is from kids who do not speak English as their primary language. If this is NOT the case, I am appalled. What the HECK are they learning in school?

There are far, far too many of them and adolescent and teenager are redundant, not contradictory.

If they stayed in school long enough to learn to speak proper english,and spell the words their trying to pronounce,maybe then they'll get somewhere.
(PS) For those of you who are about to give me a "thumbs down?",then STAY IN SCHOOL,because you did'nt understand the question or answer.

Hmph. I know how to spell! I just like little shortcuts. For example, I say ppl instead of people. As long as ur not an old coot, u can understand me! But yeah, there are some people who are very incoherent to me. Wtf are they saying?! I just ignore their questions. I do like to correct minor grammar mistakes, however...it's a bad habit.
I think at least 70% percent of us are teens...if not even more....
