Hi all I am 29 years old and I was wondering if I make a lego alpha team

If you make a lego alpha team PRODECT that might be copyright infringement.
Building a Lego alpha team product should be fine though.
I think if you LIEK ships, it is a LIL WIERD.  However I think if you like • the
ships that is not a little weird at all.

Serious question is English your first language?  After all there are adult
Lego fans in many countries.

Well, good, but really, you're questioning his spelling. (Sure, his
grammar's bad, but you were just pointing out his spelling errors). That
said, I find it horribly amusing that you misspelled "grammar" and wrote
"tonite" instead of "tonight"

Well, as the ;-) was meant to indicate that the errors in the last "thought"
(not really a sentence, mind you) were intentional.

but took Derek to town on "lil." Further,
"Serious question is English your first language." is not a complete
sentence.

Well that was definitely as case of "open mouth insert foot here."

I think your post could have used a couple more commas, but
that may just be personal preference. Finally, the last line of your
post could use a capital; I'm fairly certain there should be a comma
between "sorry" and "the"; assuming ";-)" is a smilie, you need to
close the parenthetical remark; and you should have a period somewhere
in there to end the sentence.

Anyway, this is my first post here, though I've been

lruking • :-)
for a
little bit, but this sort of thing really bothers me. If you're going to
make fun of someone's spelling or grammar, you better be sure your post
is flawless.

Yes, I succeeded in "burning" myself.
