And which/ how many screenames does he have?

He obviously has an intimate understanding of the human psyche and could easily fake another person much in the same way as writing another character.

So, whom is he? And how do you tell?

I'm moderately certain that should be 'Who is OSC?'.

Posted by scottneb (Member # 676) on :

It's meant as a sort of irony. I'm the one that started the Grammar/Spelling thread.

Posted by neo-dragon (Member # 7168) on :

Maybe you're OSC! Except that I would think that he would know that the question should be "Who is Orson Scott Card?" [No No]

Or maybe that was an intentional slip-up so that we wouldn't suspect you. Then again, maybe I am Orson Scott Card...

*Edit*
Oh, okay. I didn't know that the usage was supposed to be ironic.

Somehow I doubt OSC would go all Cedrios on us here. If it were OSC, I think we'd know.

I don't think he has time, really. He writes about two books a year. I understand when he is doing that, he is pretty well occupied. Takes about 6 weeks (he told us in class). He seems to churn out a couple of shorts as well.

Then consider the plays he directs, the other projects he is involved in, travel, and being with his family.

SIX WEEKS?!

That's... intensive!

Ack. Whom is objective case, who is nominative.

I am now having flashbacks to editing for the Britiot. [Angst]

Thanks for that. [Razz]

Plus, he sees every movie that ever comes out.

Posted by Fyfe (Member # 937) on :

"Whom are you?" he asked, for he had attended business college.

(I have no idea where that's from; I read it somewhere.)

Almost. He hasn't reviewed White Noise yet has he?

Or "I Heart Huckabees"

Six weeks is after months and years of percolating thoughts. But yeah, that is pretty intensive.
