Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I don't know where else it would go. Just a thought here, but should this site start employing people to periodically check for grammar errors? I frequently see grammar errors, mispellings, etc. when I'm on this site, and Grammar Nazi that I am, it gets to me sometimes. Obviously, individual tropers can correct such mistakes themselves, but just seems odd to me that there's noon actively checking for such things.

There’s one that exists, but posting is sporadic: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13003295150A67817000&page=2

My stance on fixing grammar errors is to fix any problem I see by myself, whenever I see one.

Moved to Wiki Talk which seems to be the correct place for such suggestions. Although I am not entirely sure what is being suggested...

I mean, I'll fix any issues that I see when I'm reading wiki pages, but I'm not going to try to read pages faster just to catch more spelling and grammar errors.

I'd think that utilizing the "Grammar Police" thread and making it a more active topic would probably help. Pretty much any clean-up effort is going to include grammar corrections, but if it's just dedicated to fixing grammar I'm not sure how active that thread can really get.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
