I used to be one of those. It kind of makes me chuckle when I see comments like above, I used to write similarly from when I was about 14. I had many people online accuse me of being a fake child, too (their words)
A lot of people seem to have this idea that being a child or teenager is on the same level as being a toddler just learning how to talk. Like there's some kind of magical switch that gets flicked when you turn 18 that takes you from babbling to writing long winded and formal emails with as much jargon as you can muster up. It's really weird, but I think it's probably a combination of jealousy and feeling irrelevant and out of touch for some folks
Sure is annoying as the person on the other end though
