Question

Help answer this question below.

Do you think younger people get more points for their questions, and more answers, on AB than an older person asking a similar question? If so, do you think it's because younger people may word similar questions in a way that's more "relatable" to peers?

    No, I don't think this at all. If anything, I'd say the reverse is true.

    Many younger people use improper grammar, punctuation or misspellings that alienate responders, regardless of age. Questions that are clear in what they ask relate to all.

    I do think since most users of the internet are young, they tend to respond better to others similar. This doesn't count for everyone though. You can see that a lot of the questions that have a lot of points are not intellectual or thoughtful q's at all. What I say is - if someone cannot understand what the person is saying, they won't try and figure it out. Whether it's a word they don't know the definition or how it's explained, etc.
