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.

Barbara and Melissa are supposed to be simply friends (especially since Barbara is married), but a lot of fans see their dynamic as romantic. They are the closest of any of the teachers due to knowing each other for years, with Melissa saying that she would kill for Barbara, and their friendship leads to a lot of Les Yay. One episode has Barbara feeling self-conscious about growing older, <- comma with Melissa comforting Barbara by telling her that she's only "gotten better with age". Another episode has Barbara accidentally insult Melissa due to her criminal connections before making it up to her by "shaking down someone" for her. This is not helped by the fact that their canon love interests aren't featured much in the show.

I can't find any English mistakes in that example.

Corrections:
- Asshole Victim: Joe St. George isn't going to attract much sympathy after he's revealed to have molested his daughter Selena and stolen his children's college funds.
- Karma Houdini: Dolores is not punished for the murder of her husband, even after confessing to Andy.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Joe St. George hates the Kennedy presidency because he thinks the Catholics and the Jews are now ruling America, blames the Civil Rights Movement on the Communists and calls FDR "Sheeny-velt". The fact he's trying to encourage such tendencies in his sons greatly angers Dolores.
- Retirony: Peter, one of the sons of Dolores and Joe, died in the Vietnam War two months before the fall of Saigon.
- Reasonable Doubt:
- Paul is in no way punished for grooming and molesting Jax, and is welcomed by Jax's mother ten years after as a teetotaler. He dies surrounded with the affection of his wife and his grandchildren, to Jax's grief.
- Likewise, Brayden Miller is acquitted of the murder of Kaleesha Moore even though he did it.
Main.Justice By Other Legal Means:
- Reasonable Doubt: Sure, Brayden Miller is acquitted of the murder of Kaleesha Moore even though he did it. But his wife Sarah will divorce him and take half of his wealth, and Jax has faxed to Fallon, the sister of the victim, documents proving Miller has committed major financial fraud.
Thanks, Arivne.
- Audience-Coloring Adaptation: William Austin's portrayal of Alfred Pennyworth as a tall and distinguished Englishman would serve as the basis for most versions of Alfred going forward, with even the comics redesigning him to be closer to Austin's depiction and retconning his original fat and bumbling portrayal from the golden age.
- Overshadowed by Controversy: While the shorts did establish aspects of the Batman mythos that are still around today, such as the current appearance of Alfred and the Batcave, nowadays they are more infamous for their WWII-era anti-Japanese propaganda and racism than anything else.
ExiledFromContinuity.Creator Reasons:
- Back in 2013, then-Batman And Red Robin writer Peter Tomasi had once attempted to bring over Carrie Kelley from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns into the New 52 rebrand, with plans to make her the next Robin. However, this enraged her creator Frank Miller, to the point that he allegedly told DC that if they wanted to do more with Carrie Kelley, he was up to doing books with her on the condition they exile her from the mainline comics. DC agreed to Frank's deal, causing her to be banned from comics outside of Frank Miller's work and to suddenly disappear from the mainline DCU after appearing in three issues.note That said, she is still allowed to appear in adaptations if her appearances in Teen Titans Go! and Gotham Knights (2023) are anything to go by.
YMMV.Batman
- Common Knowledge: Everyone knows Batman only operates at night. However, this is not true. While he does primarily work during the night (since crime is more frequent at night and his shtick is more effective), he also operates in the day if the situation calls for it. In fact, during the golden and silver ages, Bruce operated as Batman just as much in the day as he did at night.
Fandom Heresy
- Batman: The Animated Series:
- Don't admit you like "I've Got Batman in My Basement" unless you want to be attacked by vultures, as it's widely regarded by fans and the show's staff as the worst episode in the entire series.
- Saying you like the Joker's infamous redesign in The New Batman Adventures is a good way to find yourself thrown out of a window by Mr. J, given how widely hated the redesign is (even by the staff of the show).

^ If you start a sentence with the word "While", you need to have something later on in the same sentence contradicting the first part. You split the contradictory part off into a separate sentence, which made the first sentence a sentence fragment
.
^ For example, you might write "While John was a nice guy, he could be foolish sometimes".
^ The "While" makes the contradictory part "he could be foolish sometimes." required.

For My Ideal Academia.
- Poor Communication Kills: Defied. Knowing that Angra Mainyu's Noble Phantasm can counter All Might's strength by reflecting damage to All Might, Shirou tells Shoto and Bakugo they need to help All Might fast. However, Shirou doesn't tell them about Angra Mainyu's capabilities, so they don't believe All Might need help. Knowing they need to go right now, Shirou tells them about it.
Video Game.Dishonored:
- Emergency Authority: Because of the rat plague, Lord Regent Hiram Burrows is taking more and more extreme policies such as lockdowns enforced with force fields.
- The Kingslayer: Corvo is falsely accused and convicted for regicide against Empress Jessamine. The truth is that Royal Spymaster Hiram Burrows hired Daud to murder the Empress because she opposed his draconian plans to turn Durnwall into a totalitarian state.
- Outlaw: Anyone branded a heretic by the Abbey is banned from any social intercourse, and anyone found associating with branded heretics is deemed to be a traitor. If the player choose the Cruel Mercy road, Corvo can brand High Overseer Campbell as a heretic, causing him to die from the rat plague alone in a slum.
- Price on Their Head: As a presumed regicide, Corvo commands a bounty of 30,000 gold coins on his head. Other criminals such as Slackjaw command lesser bounties.

- Forger Family & Associates:
- Franky Franklin:
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When at gunpoint by Twilight in the past, Franky is crying hysterically begging for his life on the grounds he doesn't want to die without getting together with a woman.
- Hypocrite Has a Point: He often overlooks his own advice on occasion for his own personal reason, but he does make a point that Loid really shouldn't get too involved with Yor due to their line of work. Considering she is actually an assassin in secret, he's not too far off.
- Odd Friendship: He gets along quite well with Bond. The two even bond together during the Cruise Ship Arc and tries to help Bond impress a female dog he's attracted to.
- Smarter Than You Look: He looks goofy and can act childish, but he's actually an expert information dealer and quite perceptive. When he and Anya tail Loid and Yor's date, he half-correctly guesses that she's worried about Loid and Yor divorcing. When Bond is reluctant to engage in the dog training Loid wants him to go through, Franky correctly guesses that it is due to the fact it brings back unpleasant memories of his test subject days.

- Fans Prefer the New Him: Even though it was likely never going to stick around due to Status Quo Is God, many fans are saddened by Batman's decision to abandon the well-loved rebirth batsuit in favor of going back to his classic grey and black batsuit at the end of Tom King's run, with many wishing he kept it as his batsuit going forward due to many finding it to be a well designed blend of Batman's previous batsuits.

- Child Prodigy: Pepe is considered a young prodigy by his family sect. He managed to master three out of six Buddhist powers known as Rokujintsu at age ten when usually, it takes a hundred years for an average practitioner to master one.

- Popularity Power: A Servant's powers can be influenced by their popularity in society, becoming more powerful the famous/infamous they are. So when Angra Mainyu starts to gain a fearsome reputation as the Beast that terrorizes Japan and easily defeats eight heroes in his lonesome, he gets a power boost on his parameters and even an upgrade on his Noble Phantasm.
