there is ! It is incorrect, grammatically.

Use of incorrect English is, however, a personal choice, but it does not accurately convey the intended meaning.

I could be extremely pedantic and say that the really correct version is :

"No-one, under the age of 21, is allowed to view these pages"
Whoa whoa... You can't do this one. "under the age of 21" is the main point of the statement, therefore commas would be saying that the part inside of the commas can be removed without changing the overall idea of the sentence/statement.

Saying "No one <> is allowed to view these pages" is ENTIRELY different than saying "No one under the age of 21 is allowed to view these pages."

The correct way to use "no one" (just for the record) is that you use the noun that describes the subject. Say you're talking about a person (which we are).

The "perfect" way this would be put it "No one person under the age of 21 years is allowed to view any of the pages below!"

Okay, so I changed it to how I want it... Point is that it SHOULD be "No one person" because TECHNICALLY, if it just says "no one" then someone under 21 could make the argument that you were talking about dogs, or monkeys because you're not saying what the one thing is that isn't allowed to view these pages.

Please all, try to keep this on a friendly level. :mrgreen:

I have made some changes to the banner in the interest of not spreading incorrect use of English. Any other changes are unlikely at this time.

Not at all, this has been a very interesting thread and I have enjoyed following it. And some exchanges of whip marks and such are only a sign of a healthy community. :mrgreen:
