The first part may be true, the second is not, since senile also means 'relating to old age' (from 'senilis' and its root 'senex' - 'old man') :)
 
Being senile has to do with mental health not age.

Its the same as

I'm going old and grey.

We assosiate being grey with being old but it is possible to get grey hair when you are young just as it is possible to be old without grey hair.

A 70 year old man could be described as old but if he is in perfect mental health he couldn't be described as senile.

Actually, rory's suggestion and mine come at things from two totally different angles. I believe his suggestion is describing those being helped, while mine is meant to describe us geeks who do the helping.

Though the most recent debate on this thread may go a long way in proving that despite what we would like to believe, we probably still are not cool...

You need to check a dictionary! ;) The reason it was called senile dementia is because it afflicted old people.

Hey, no fair! Everyone wanted to sit next to me, if only so that they could copy my work... :biggrin:
 
From Emma:
Technically, senile just means old so this is tautologous...

I differ: You can be old and NOT senile as you can also be senile and NOT old.
