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.

You're not putting Fridge Brilliance on the main page of Rango are you?
Should be more like:
"from when we were lower on the food chain" still feels weird though.

Fight smart, not fair.^"Seem", not "seam". Otherwise that's good.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Missed that one.
Fight smart, not fair.Lower in evolution. is what I mean, sorry I did not see the special Im referring two is a long time.

With the power of a dragon I can make up for my inability to spill.More grammatically correct:
- I meant "Lower in evolution". I haven't seen the special I'm referring to in a long time.
Instead of
consider:
- our brains fused our mental image of the main predators together at an earlier point in our evolution.

This one is massive and I know it would be too overwhelming for anyone to point all my mistakes.So I guess just a few pointers will work (sintaxis and stuff):). Currently I am rewritting some stuff to make it more simple also I am spellchecking with a text-editor to fix the wole thing.
Btw I would like to know if the following YKTTW are launchable (grammar wise).

With the power of a dragon I can make up for my inability to spill.That's not really an exaggeration.

With the power of a dragon I can make up for my inability to spill.@ Frodo thanks alot you made a superb job again.
Make your hearth shine through the darkest night; let it transform hate into kindness, evil into justice, and loneliness into love.You're welcome. You may need someone else to help you with the YKTTW on personality, it's too long for me. I guess I could do one section at a time, but it may take me a few weeks. ^^;

With the power of a dragon I can make up for my inability to spill.Yes, it's spelled "laconic".
To make what I think your meaning is more clear, I'd say "That means she won't date you."

Video Game Census. Please contribute.NO I get them, but I kinda expected the ones were I got the "Playing With" wrong to be fixed while you were at it.
With the power of a dragon I can make up for my inability to spill.To tell you the truth, I'd just replace them with "???" and let someone else try. Not everything has to be filled on a Playing With page, but that's not the purpose of this thread.

Rango Fridge Brilliance, in a Viewers Are Geniuses sort of way. However it might be a bit of a stretch some scientists think that we got the notion of Dragons from the fact that our brains got the main predators from when we were lower on the food chain fused together. Snakes Birds of prey and Cats. On the size scale that are heroes are on snakes and hawks seam like dragons to them and for the most part, that's how they act.
