no hearing person will write, for example:
"It cause from lack of proper education".

The way hearing person makes grammar mistakes would be like:
"Enraged cow injures farmer with ax".

And Cheri no, I am not picking on you, I just found this line at first glance, so sorry for chosing yours.

I see examples on a daily basis, and they are in no way similar to the errors made by the hearing. They are not cinsistent with grammar rules at all. Syntax is somewhat consistent with spoken langauge, but grammar is definately not. I'm certain that shel can validate that' as well.

Jillio,

Care to explain what " syntax " exactly means ? I am tryin' to understand you and some ADers here when they mentioned about syntax. :-\

Never attack a writer or say something to the effect of, "You can't write good English or perfect standard English." You may think the one word or two is particularly bad, but that doesn't mean the person is a bad writer.

If you're going to be making constructive criticism on how others write, then you should take one good look at yourself there fuzzy, You're no better.

You're so full of it fuzzy, You don't know the differences between criticizing someone and stating the obvious, if you're just stating the obvious, then what does that make you when you're writing in some errors? You wouldn't be pointing fingers on others than yourself.

You're criticizing them because you think you have no problem with how you write.

Use your common sense fuzzy, sometimes you don't even make any sense.

Word order in a sentence. Grammar is punctuation, word endings, etc.

English sytax would be, for example, I saw the boy climb the tree. ASL sytax would place the signs in this order: Tree, boy, climb, see me.

Shel is a TOD. And yes, as a TOD, she works with deaf children. She also has a master's degree in deaf ed. and therefore, is well educated not jsut from an academic standpoint, but from an experience standpoint, on the language problems of deaf children.

And for someone who spent so much time complaining that no onw would explainto you the meaning of connotation and denotation, you need to follow your own advise regarding the use of a dictionary. And Maria addressedher question to me. Do not presume to answer for me. I am more than happy to explain the meaning of a word I have used when the request comes from a sincere desire to learn and understand.

Exactly. If I were to point out every grammar, syntax, and word usage error that I see in fuzzy's posts, it would be a full time job.

FYI, I created this thread. I've seen other threads are the longest than mine. And, also I think it's better to keep this thread open for CI/ASL viewers, if they have anythin' to say concernin' the video I posted in my first original post.

Hey Fuzzy,

Please respect my thread. I've addressed Jillio what " syntax " means. You need to refrain from your attitude - please, don't start.

Please, respect to each ADer who ever each ADer addresses to, if any question directly.

**shel90** · 10-23-2007, 06:41 PM

Thanks Jillo..yes, I am a TOD and I have taken grad courses in language development and linguistics. ASL is not the root of people's writing problems nor is deafness. Language deprivation is the culprit, plain and simple.

I am gonna type this all in caps just to prove a point here about Standard English Grammar.

I think we could do a little less with worrying about how a person types or reads and worry about how we are passing our messages along.

The only thing we are here for is to learn from and support others that come here. I do not believe that a new parent that is panicked and seeking answers is going to care how well we write. All that parent is going to care about is getting the messages and getting calmed down and feeling better.

Fuzzy, I am not trying to be a *grammar cop*, I just wanted to point out that even YOU do not write perfect standard english. If I wanted to I could spend all my time in AD pointing out and rewriting thousands of posts *including some of my own* just to do what? Try to act superiour?

When I come to this board, I dont care how someone else writes. And I certainly dont care if there are a few spelling and or grammar errors in my posts. If I was writing a novel for professional gain then yes I would care. But this is not a professional writers board and never will be.

Even those of us with PHD's and Masters Degrees still make little errrors in our writings.

My suggestion is to lay off and leave it alone. You obviously can read our posts, so what more do you need?

And Fuzzy, its not that we don't understand what your writing it is how you are writing it.

If I said Cheri, youi need to clean up your grammar, I can't understand you.

Or if I said, Cheri can you please clarify what you are meaning here?

Which one sounds more like the insult?

Same thing, if I had a skinny friend who wanted to borrow my clothes and I said to them

My clothes would fall off your skinny ass, so therefore you cant borrow them because you might lose them.

Or if I said, why don't we go shopping for something for you to wear?

Which one sounds more like the insult?

Get the drift here?
