This thread is for tropers who have trouble with English and would like some help with the crazy grammar of this crazy language.

Write down what you wish to edit on the wiki. If you have been suspended from editing, another troper might be kind enough to edit for you after your suggestions have been corrected.

The thread is for help and feedback on your own suggested edits.

If you want help correcting other people's edits (e.g., if you find a page which seems to have grammar problems but want a second opinion, or you don't feel able to fix it by yourself) then that's off-topic here, but we have a separate Grammar Police cleanup thread that can provide assistance.

For Monster.Fan Works

  • Shadows Of Amethyst (link): The Overlord returns after his previous defeat by attempting to corrupt the Elements of Creation in order to destroy the Balance. Launching an attack on Ninjago City, The Overlord corrupts the city's civilians into Crystal Zombies, severly injures Garmadon and breaks Lloyd's arm during his fight against them. Upon entering a partnership with The Omega while also intenting to wipe the Oni out afterwards, The Overlord corrupts Kai into his puppet and has him infiltrate the Newspaper Warehouse in order to infect all of the other Ninja. Once Kai tries to fight back against his corruption, The Overlord causes a "full-system overload" of Kai's nerve system to keep him under control. When The Omega's attempt to convince Lloyd to join the Oni fails, The Overlord reveals that he wasn't intending on upholding his side of the bargain and attempts to kill him alongside Lloyd before being defeated by the Ninja once more.
For MemeticLoser.Anime And Manga
  • Jujutsu Kaisen:
    • Hajime Kashimo's reputation within the fandom took a massive nose dive after he didn't even last two chapters against Sukuna before being killed off, despite all the hype he has gotten. And to make things worse, other characters like Yuji, Yuta, Maki, and even Higurama all got good showings against Sukuna as the fight progressed, which just made Kashimo's performance look even worse by comparison. As a result of his poor performance, several jokes were spawned about him that stated that he only became the strongest of the Edo period because he solely fought against farmers doing jujutsu as a hobby and referring to him as a waffle in reference to his fate of being cleaved into square cubes by Sukuna, alongside memes inexplisably portraying him as a femboy.

When Branch and his brothers having fun performing together foreshadows their strong family bond, which ends up saving Floyd.

...kids chanting prove it to his brother.

^ This is not correct English. Did you mean to write:

Daitomodachi

  • Belated Injury Realization: In "Goro's Walk", Goro Akechi tells a story about not picking up on social cues. He's walking about and gets hit up by Joker for money. Akechi says he doesn't have any money and Joker says "[he] has a knife." Akechi thinks Joker is offering him a knife. It's only when Akechi gets home that he realizes he was being robbed, with the camera turning to show he was stabbed. Once he finishes his story, he drops dead.

@ The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Mrs. Herdman working long hours to escape from her bratty kids like Beth thinks, or is her absence from home in order to support such a large family the cause of her kids' unruliness? Likewise, did Mr. Herman really desert his family because his kids were angry brats, or did at least some of them only end up that way after he left?

@ True Detective Season Four

  • Throw 'Em to the Wolves: Rather than kill them, directly or indirectly, their assailants take away their clothes and strand them with "She," commenting that if she chooses, she can send them home cold and frightened but alive. However, the assailants are neither surprised or upset when the scientists don't survive.

@ Babylon 5

  • Dockers' Guild representative Neeoma Connally is only in one episode (with mentions in two others), but is one of the best-liked support crew members.

@ Babylon 5

  • Dockers' Guild union rep Neeoma Connally oversees a lot of important work maintaining the infrastructure and operations of the station and discusses being involved in nonstop struggles to get better working rights for her guild, with only one incident of this appearing in the show itself.

@ Saving Patrick Bubley

  • Even Evil Has Standards: Jesus Maldonado is a hardened gangbanger without too much sympathy for the Bubley Family, but he shows some genuine sadness and weariness at recalling how Miguel started the bloody feud by stealing a scooter from a little boy, and the flashback shows him suggesting they return the scooter.

@ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Will any of the surviving enclaves be more or less eager to reclaim their place in the world than Mae is?

After decades worth of stories of them being minor characters looked down on by both Apes and intelligent humans, they could have provided an interesting new perspective to the story.

@ Winter's Bone

  • Mouth of Sauron: Local drug-running patriarch Thump Milton tends to have his wife Merab talk to visitors or go out to discuss business rather than deign to meet with people outside his circle.

@ Buffy the Vampire Slayer

  • Well-Intentioned Extremist Del DeSola from The Unseen Trilogy is a mover of one of the better-liked plot lines from those books and could have been a novel Big Bad Ensemble member due to being a minor victim who has a Face–Heel Turn and launches efforts to fund The Mafiya to destroy the Hispanic gangs he feels are ruining his culture, while having little knowledge or understanding of the supernatural world his actions are affecting. However, he only appears in a couple of scenes.

Sensual Phrase

Aine

  • I Just Want to Be Normal: Aine, who is in a relationship with Λucifer's lead singer, Sakuya, wishes for normalcy in their romantic life. She longs for those moments when they can be a regular couple and not have to worry about the prying eyes of paparazzi or the expectations of fans.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

  • Toxic Family Influence: There's a reason why the nuns of the orphanage the brothers grow up at do not like Sam. When Nate is 13 years old, Sam invites him to break into a mansion and retrieve their late mother's journal. This act sets off a chain of events that forces the brothers to become fugitives and assume new identities. Fast-forward to the present day, when Sam unexpectedly resurfaces in Nate's life after being presumed dead for fifteen years. Sam proposes that they continue their quest to find Henry Avery's treasure, claiming that he owes Hector Salazar for helping him escape from prison. This unexpected reunion and Sam's captivating story become the final push for Nate to abandon his comfortable life of recent years and embrace the adventurous path once again.

  • Judas
    • Implausible Hair Color: During the trailer, an unnamed character with bright pink hair appears. However, it's quite clear from her appearance that she's not exactly human, being either a robot or some kind of cyborg.
