Is there is any persons who are below the age of 18 who is involving in OS Development??

Yes, and you are making them look bad.

I'm sure there are, but they have usually developed their grammatical and programming skills to an acceptable level before joining.

Judging from the nickname, I assume that English isn't his/her native language (as it's not native to almost 80% of the people accessing the internet). So let's not get cocky here, OK?

I'm prepared to make allowances for non-English speakers. But that doesn't excuse the large number of trivial questions that are unrelated to OS development. And posting questions then never coming back to the same thread to reply to comments is not useful.

Such as myself?

Jeremiah is an english name.

Checking in. Only for but a month longer though.

It's a biblical name, which means it's used in pretty much all European languages rather than just English. Interestingly, the first google query I ran returned mostly French results for me.

Well, I don't know if I am "reviving" this "dead thread" or not, but I'll input; I am 17, and I've been interested in programming since I was 9.

I'm encroaching upon 19.
Also a second generation programmer in my family.

Success.
I approve of this mindset.

Sure. As in any computation field.

I am, but I actually dropped developing operating system recently, because of my poor English understanding in some osdev tutorials. Also, I didn't kinda feel it was my operating system, when almost 75% of code was copied from various tutorials.

I'm 19 also. I depend a lot on tutorials, sometimes I copy code and adjust it to fit for my use or with other codes etc..I mainly used the old JamesM kernel tutorial. I moved it to the higher half and added keyboard and a basic CLI interface. My knowledge of C/ASM isn't good at all but it's my way of learning. I hope it will work.

Sorry for all the Grammatic mistakes, English ain't my native language but I keep on trying to improve it..

What is the purporse of this thread,really?

Socializing. People do that, you know. If not of interest to you, why bother to post? It's "general ramblings". Some threads are about musical taste. Some about age.

EDIT: Sorry if I do sound cocky now, but I don't know any other forum where members like to be so nitpicking. Please show some courtesy.
