I mentioned this to one of my friends last night, actually. She reminded me that people on the internet feel the need to boast. It's the internet version of muscle-flexing: whoever appears to have the biggest, juiciest brain "wins" something or other. Since no one gets hurt by brain-flexing, she suggested I let it pass.
There's also the fact that people who like to read tended to learn at a young age, and would therefore know what age they learned to read off the top of their heads. People who learned later would not consider it noteworthy, and also wouldn't jump at the chance to say they learned at an average age or later.
Its often called an "e-penis". I dunno what the female equivelant is. E-bust? E-bum? E-waist?
I suppose it depends what culture you're from. Typically, those of african/african-american descent would regard ample buttocks, and often, ample breasts, as being something attractive an desirable. The latter is often true of causasians, and a pleasant behind is also something we're a fan of, in many cases. An e-waist is perhaps more debatable, because it means many things to different people. Someone who aspires to the kate moss look would probably think a very skinny waist was attractive
-removed-
Whereas many people would see a larger waist as more desirable.
Anyway, that's fairly irrellevant.
The fact is, PPT is a website populated largely by young people, and as a result, immature people. Now I know everyone will be quick to cry "But im so mature, I was counselling pregnant teenage mothers when I was 6!", but this is just a reflection of the immaturity.
For the young'uns, everything is a competition. That's why X has seen more ghosts than Y, why Q has more strange double-joints and medical conditions than P, and why G has slightly more advanced psychic powers than I do. Its just the way I suppose.
However, the fact is that when you are two and half, and even up to when you're 5-6 or 7, your sense of memory isnt perfect. Sure, you can remember a few things, but much of your memory is incorrect or indeed fake. You ever been told a story so many times you actually remember it as if you were there? Hmm.
Every parent would like their child to start reading at the same time they start learning to walk, and every parent knows their child would feel alot of pride at having learned to read at a very young age. The astute amongst you will see where I'm going.
So. I'm not saying everyone is lying, or blah blah blah whatever. The fact is, kids, that when you first learnt to read doesnt mean
jack. So what if X started driving when he was 9, he still doesnt indicate, tailgates and drives carelessly. Its what you can do NOW that matters, not how early you started. Tsk.
I dunno when I learnt to read competently, and frankly, I don't care.
