My grandmother has continues to threaten me!!

If anyone has the time maybe they should go and read some of the earlier posts that Supreme Admiral has made. Though the way he writes in those threads is far from perfect some of them are way more comprehensible that what he has posted in this thread.
 
^True, and compared to many posters here, I think his english wasn't that bad. Also I know many people whose grammar are much worse than his. He will do fine writing scripts.
 
Are you a LOLcat? Because I find it very hard to believe that your inability to hear in any language can justify your inability to write in the English one.

Dude, you apparently didn't read what I posted earlier in the thread.

And I actually spent time in a forum once doing research on a story years ago, where there were a good number of deaf/hard-of-hearing individuals, and the grammar and spelling do run the gamut from individual to individual. Some people you would never have any indication, other people, yes...this is about what the grammar would look like. Believe it or not, even before the OP identified himself as deaf, I could identify it just by the particular way that words were used. I can usually identify any poster's native language (or at least the family of languages) just by the way they use the English language. Signed or spoken, this is no exception.

Believe it or not, true sign language has its own grammar and idioms completely separate from any spoken language. Now, I am hearing and do not profess to be an expert (hell, I barely knew any words in ASL, can sorta fingerspell, but that's it)...however, the grammar is radically different from English. If you are thinking of sign language that IS close to English, that is probably some form of Pidgin Signed English (PSE) or Signed Exact English (SEE). PSE is in fact a pidgin/contact language much like Hawaiian Pidgin. SEE is not a language in its own right, but a mere "transcription" of English, or cipher. You may be thinking ASL is like either of those two languages...but it's not.

So let me be clear. If you are going to criticize, PLEASE do it from an accurate knowledge base with full comprehension of the steps the OP may need or wish to take to accomplish and/or refine his goals. The "drug" comments and other signs of ignorance on the subject (and I mean "ignorant" in the literal sense of "does not know about this subject," not as "dumb," "redneck," or anything else that could possibly be construed as a general statement) are not helping you, the OP, or anybody else.
So the OP need to practice writing in English, rather than trying to transcribe sign language.
 
Do those scripts of yours include hot cousins? That one always seems to work. ;)

Very funny, Laren! :shifty:

I'm very protective of my scripts! My scripts is very close of Transformers/Star Wars/Star trek all combined. It's in 23rd century. You will see once it comes out in many years later.

I'm not going to tell you what it is, but remain to be top secret. ;)


Well, based on just that........SOLD!!!!!

Now, who do I send the ticket money to?

:D :D :D

OMG YOU PUT NEED INSTEAD OF NEEDS. YOU OBVIOUSLY NEED TO PRACTICE YOUR ENGLISH.

:rolleyes:
 
I think Superme Admiral is just pulling our legs. It's supose to be a joke thread. I just don't buy into the idea that there is grandma out there, trying to crush his dreams of being a writer, because of a cat.

Um... okay?

At least I'm not trying to use the grammatical rules for one language to converse in a completely different language with different sentence structure and syntax, or whatever.
 
I think I've worked out what is really happening here.

I think it was the cat posting all along. I think granny killed the poor kid a few years ago and the pussy has been masquerading on TREKBBS for a while now.

As long as it doesn't post images of kitty porn it's ok by me ;):p
 
Somebody upthread asked if the OP was a LOLcat.

Maybe they knew more than they thought!!!
 
^True, and compared to many posters here, I think his english wasn't that bad. Also I know many people whose grammar are much worse than his. He will do fine writing scripts.

it isnt the issue of grammer but things like below that make one scratch ones head and wonder just what is going on here.

You already know it yourself. I'm already planning on a physical monument to my masterpiece. It's just that my project shouldn't be risen back from the vault to tells stories itself. So it would be the best to remain dead for long time to comes.
 
^True, and compared to many posters here, I think his english wasn't that bad. Also I know many people whose grammar are much worse than his. He will do fine writing scripts.

His grammar isn't terrible. The main problem I'm noticing has to do with verb tenses, which can be difficult no matter what language you're learning.


But the real issue at hand should not be his grammatical prowess. Rather, he needs to get his ass in gear, figure out a S.M.A.R.T. goal, and actually work on making it happen.

Oh yeah, verb conjugation always bites. I can only imagine how annoying it would be if you were used to indicating tense spatially rather than phonetically.

But the real issue at hand should not be his grammatical prowess. Rather, he needs to get his ass in gear, figure out a S.M.A.R.T. goal, and actually work on making it happen.

Thank you.

The mockery that's going on in this thread is NOT helping anyone.
 
^Yeah. I'm used to seeing some of people I used to know write the way they'd sign in pure ASL. American Sign Language isn't supposed to be written. It can be confused especially if they write a word for a certain sign that's tricky to comphrend unless you see it being signed.
 
This is where I've reached the great rage of my limit when it comes to my grandmother! She will never stop threaten me whatever she likes to do so, I keep on asking her to stop making those threatening! She doesn't care if I'm adult or not...

She pushed me away even more deeper than before. Knowing this, I've had it with her! I gave her too many chances to working out with me, but she choose to keep down that path where she stuck in the past. Also she said herself that this new cat of mine, she declare that it's belong to her! She's far more crazy than I thought, because I really love new cat of mine so much.

Here's the quotes of her saying:

You want to start playing games with me. I will show you who will win, I'm not your granddad, not your mom or Connie. There will be no more dvd or anything until I'm ready to buy it, so if I was you, I would think twice about acting up. I'm not playing!

You got away with treat me bad when granddad was alive, you won't do it no more, if I have to walk out of this house and have lula to call Kim to come and pick you up, so don't push me, Jamie. It will happen!

I hate it when she called former name of mine! I'm tired and sick of all of this shit when she treats me like garbage when it comes to this stupid fighting. She always thinks that I'm playing games with her.

For love of god, I'm almost 25 years old. I vowed that earlier this year, I wouldn't let my family put me through like that again. Thus far, I haven't been able to grow up into powerful man like George Lucas or JJ Abrmas!

To be honest with you; she intentionally interrupts my journey to reach the cross line to finish it! You see, I've been working on my scripts for months and she comes to me and asking me to taking a break! I told her that I said no to her. She threaten to call phone company to have it turned off for good.

Worse still, she told me that if I didn't shave my beard off, I wouldn't be able to go to see my doctors or going to public places that I'd like to go. How immature is she! There are many lists of my journeys that I wants to finishing it up. Now I feel like I've been hit off with roadblock off my journey.

Now I realized that it's time for me to go on the journey alone myself. That is, I have to cut her out of my life for good. She's useless to help me to finish the journey now.

What should I do? I'm not ready to learn to live on my own, but I will have to do. Hoping that you guys will help me with this craziness that I've been putting through!

EDIT: I forget to mention that I'm planning on to becoming executive producer and head writer after I'm moving to California. This is why I want to finish this journey.

Can't you just smack her around a little bit? I mean she's your grandmother...you should be able to take her. :guffaw:
