Since I've been here for two years now, I've seen posts from when I was 15, and now as I'm 17. I have noticed a marked difference with my style of writing (i.e. I write more *full* English, and avoid silly things like I being written as i.)
Silly, really, isn't it? Have you noticed any difference in the way you write? I know I'm one of the eldest *and* youngest posters at the same time, and I have, so what do *you* think. Have you noticed differences in anyone elses?

As you grow, the grammer you apply becomes more extensive (assuming you've been or are currently attending school), so naturally your writing/talking, etc. become more "refined". Especially since teachers become more picky about vocabulary, grammatical errors, and even conceptual errors.
I haven't been here long enough to notice any writing changes though.

But it's not just the grammar and English, it's what you write, and how you say it...

Comparing, I used to be more tolerant and nicer to people than I am now

Now that I've compared my first hundred posts to my current ones, I'm beginning to see that my writing was a lot more confusing than it is now. In fact, I can barely understand what I said in my first post.
