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.

~FigureGunplaFan, this is the last one of your corrected edit requests.

  • To Adding more fuel to the fire, Kanako Takatsuki also reveals that she is forming a unit called "BlooDye", which increases the fans' fears even further.

The last phrase is redundant when combined with the lead-in.

Doom Eternal

  • The fact that the Doomslayer has wrecked so much Demon hide, that the Angels themselves have threaten to "Bring down the Heavens Wrath" if he doesn't cool it. May I remind you, he only resumed his rampage one game ago, after eons of being entombed... Must have been making up for lost time.

Update Request for nombretomado

YMMV.Love Live Sunshine

  • Nausea Fuel:
    • Mari's Stewshine, a cuisine created and combined from the most expensive ingredients (flatfish, abalones, redfishes, crabs, etc) that the Ohara family can offer. While it was edible in-universe, One will doubt that the recipe would actually taste good in real life at all.
    • In a very minor extent: The foreign fans' initial reactions to the Grilled Mikans & the Mikan stew seen in the 2nd Season's 11th Episode, which were believed as part of bizarre Anime-only/Millennial cuisine that is inedible in real life. However, those foods are real and edible dishes.

NeverLiveItDown.Love Live

From:

  • Ooshima Tomo's doujins of Nico and Maki becoming biological mothers to Dia and Ruby, which probably reinforces the personal canon of the two girls' bloodline being completely related to them.

To:

  • The (joke) idea of Nico and Maki becoming biological mothers to Dia and Ruby (Due to the precious stones & image colors, and combined with Ooshima Tomo's doujins) caught so much attention to the fandom outside Japan, to the point of the said concept ending up as a popular personal canon.

Sanrio

On March 5th, 2019, Sanrio, along with Warner Bros., New Line Cinema and Flynn Pictures Company announced that they will be teaming up to develop an upcoming English language Hello Kitty film for a worldwide audience. The film will be produced by Beau Flynn and executive produced by Wendy Jacobson. The partnership also marks the only time Sanrio has granted film rights to Hello Kitty and other popular Sanrio characters to a major film studio.

Boomerang Bigot was a Pot Hole under the text.

I do a "drag and click" over the text of what I'm correcting and then paste it into the Add Post box. If I notice a Wiki Word I will connect them together to make them a Blue Link. I usually don't bother with a Pot Hole unless I notice that it's not correct.

Purr-lin: I am not familiar with the work at all and have no idea whether Purr-lin is singular or plural. If your example doesn't make it clear which it is, I simply change it so that it follows the rules of English.

Request for Grezzo 2:

  • Those Wacky Nazis: Nazi soldiers can be found in some levels. Unlike those from Wolfenstein or from the secret levels of Doom II, they don't yell random curses and threads in German; their voices are taken from a mixed German-Italian song.
  • Mook Maker: The Pain Elemental from Freedoom appears here with the abilty to spawn aggressive (but very weak) pigs and rabbits.
  • Grievous Harm with a Body: A very weird variation: the main character can pull out his own left arm, throwing it against enemies. Oddly enough, this causes never damage to the player, and the arm always grows back.

^Thanks again!

Another request for Grezzo 2, hopefully the last:

Last but not least, the author took a lot of resources from Italian pop and traditional culture, like well-known Italian celebrities, public figures, politicians and religious: most of the game is filled with offensive humor against the Catholic Church and its representatives, like the Popes, priests and monks, even God and Jesus themselves. Trash culture plays an important role, especially from the internet: one of the most mocked figure along the game is Matteo Montesi, an Italian youtuber and an ardent Christian believer known for his hundreds of videos where he records himself wandering in the countryside or inside abandoned places and (in a very thick accent of the Marches) expresses his views about religion, conspiracies, aliens, etc.


  • Disc-One Nuke: Since there's almost a dozen of weapons for every slot, while some of theme are acceptable or mediocre, it is possible, with enough luck, to find already as you start playing the most powerfull weapons.
  • Eldritch Abomination: While many public figures added in the game appeas as fearsome and powerful monsters, the most notable examples are surely the popes:
    • Pope John Paul II appears in a bloody scenario and displays enormous tentacles which he uses for attacking with plasma beams or explosive crucifixes.
    • Pope Francis appears in a reshaped variant of Brutal Doom's Icon of Sin with the same skills and attacks. That says it all

^ This whole paragraph was made up of one long sentence and one extremely long sentence, which is why I broke them up. It's a lot easier for people to read your work if your sentences are of reasonable size.

Since there're almost a dozen of weapons for every slot, while some of them are acceptable or mediocre, it is possible, with enough luck, to find yourself starting play with the most powerful weapons.

^ I think that's what you meant to say. :)

I haven't added this because Nausea Fuel is about scenes that are meant to be disgusting. This write-up doesn't indicate that is the case.

~FigureGunplaFan, this post:

See How to Write an Example: "Do Not Add Multiple Tropes With A Slash/Adding Multiple Tropes With A Slash Is Bad" . Nothing wrong with the grammar.

  • Holy Shit Quotient: Roll call: We're pretty sure that some Most of us didn't expect the author to confirm that their universe is dominated by same-sex relationships, and while many of the female characters are actually born through IPS cells breeding.

Nothing wrong with the Win The Crowd write-up.

The Ho Yay thing doesn't go, because Ho Yay is about fans' interpretation of a relationship, not the author confirming it (that's Word of Gay, which you've already indicated).

The term "popular personal canon" is contradictory. Is it canon or fanon? Never Live It Down is something that happens in canon, and gets exaggerated in fanon.

Ringing Bell Nightmare Fuel

  • Even before we see Chirin as an adult, seeing him angry as a young lamb is even worse. Mainly when he starts yelling or screaming in rage. Mainly the two scenes when he gives an angry speech. It gets worse once he starts growing horns and his wool starts looking less cuddly and more menacing (as seen in the page image). Ever since he witnessed his mother's death, we never again see Chirin smiling anywhere else in the movie. The voice acting for those scenes in the English and Japanese versions doesn't help.

  • While also sad, anytime Chirin is frightened or very upset as a lamb. When he witness his mother's death, he starts crying and wailing in agony. It's worse when he accidentally breaks two eggs from a bird's nest and starts panickingly crying and feeling guilty. The animation when Chirin is crying in both scenes only adds more sense of agony to the poor lamb. The voice acting for those scenes is even sadder (especially the Japanese version).

Thanks a lot Arvine! That has been a lot of work.

I'll explain about Disc-One Nuke: while in the original Doon there is only a specific weapon for each slot (or two in a few cases), in this mod there are dozens of weapons for each slot, like numerous shotguns, rifles, pistols, etc. with different sprites, sounds and firepower. They're spawned randomly, which means you can be unlucky and grab the most weak or mediocre of them, you can be very lucky and obtain immediatly the most over-powered. That's what I meant.
