>>280700519I am an American, and that level of writing is absolutely not the norm for 8 year olds, but I know that 4channers have never been even remotely connected to reality. I started posting on message boards a long time ago when I was 13; Lily's writing is average to slightly above average for her age, maybe I was overstating that, but no way in hell does the average 8 year old write that coherently.
