->"This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."

Dude or dudette, we are going to be all up in your face about grammar.

We want the stuff to be spelled correctly, though we don't really care whether you use American or British spelling.

We want the thesis to be clear and up-front. If you run a sentence on, we are going to be all, "What the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica1978 frack]] was ''that'' about?"

You will still know us as your kind. We care about the same things as you do ... plus that grammar stuff.

We have a lot of entries. We are looking for ''good'' entries. We're not necessarily asking for you to bring your best writing skills ([[PurpleProse or what you've been cruelly misled to believe is your best writing]]), but we ''do'' ask for writing that expresses complete and coherent thoughts, has correct word usage, and [[NoPunctuationPeriod lacks punctuation]] [[WantonCrueltyToTheCommonComma abuse]]. In other words, we're asking for the same quality of writing your English teacher expects from you. That said, [[Administrivia/WhatPageTypesMean we are still an informal wiki]], so we give a lot of leeway.

Some of us are [[GrammarNazi Grammar Nazis]]. Don't worry about it, we really aren't [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]] and most of us have no designs on Poland. Really, we have made an agreement for [[UsefulNotes/PeaceThroughSuperiorFirepower peace in our time]].

That said, don't go insane; if you make a mistake, we'll fix it. [[ILied This is not a test]]. YouBastard.

If you at some point grow tired of getting fixed, you might want to look into TipsOnGrammar.
