Yet again you have failed to comprehend a single, simple, sentence. I write in a 60's broadcast style i.e., suitable for your average 12 year old American. My guess is that any sentence over 6 words is not going to be simple enough for you people. That's the breaks.

I was talking about people in their mid-twenties, not sixties - you goofball! Boy, self-proclaimed geniuses are certainly exasperating!
