Found this link when I was looking for an answer to my question about using "age" vs. "aged" in the following sentence: Zoe, age(d) 19, attends McGill University.
Still don't have a clear answer to that question, but the website I discovered is cool!

not being an english major, wouldn't 'age' mean the actual age of someone or something (like a building, etc) and 'aged' used to describe a transition from young to old, either morally, spiritually, or emotionally? some experience aged someone or something dramatically? just a thought. from wishing for wisdom blogger jc
Thanks for this distinction - it's one lots of people make it. The tricky part comes when using "age" or "aged" as an adjective rather than a noun "age" or a verb "aged."
English is fun, huh? Julie
