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 post:

  • This illustration of Kanan in the October 2019 issue of Dengeki G's, holding an N-shaped object, made many fans spew out "Don't Say The N-Word/N-Word pass" jokes.

  • Due to Eli's (and to a minor extent: Arisa's) background as a Japanese with a part-Russian blood, expect her to become a poster girl for anything Russian (such as her ability to rule with the power of dictatorship, doing "Rush B" as her strategy) and/or Gopnik stereotypes (such as her doing squats while wearing tracksuits, or her major addiction to vodka) in many fans' eyes.
    • Not sure why you italicized Russian.
    • On re-read, "origin" is an odd choice, since we're talking about genetics. "Background" is more appropriate.

~FigureGunplaFan, this post:

  • Fans of the more common pairings (DiaEli, NozoEli, and KanaMari, for example) may have this reaction when seeing the cover art for the Love Live! General Magazines, as it features a different, uncommon pairing (the first issue had Eli adjusting Riko's tie, the second had Kotori hugging Kanan, etc.) on each issue.
    • What is the actual name of the magazine? Magazines would be italicized.
    • It's a bit better, but Die for Our Ship is about fans hating characters for interfering in their preferred couple. For this example to pass, it has to include some explanation on who the fans are hating.
    • The "may have" is close to arguing against your own example. Is this an example, or is it not?

~FigureGunplaFan, this post:

  • Ship-to-Ship Combat: The cover/poster artwork for the Love Live! General Magazines may have caused a slight furor from other shippers. (The RikoEli-themed first volume for DiaEli and NozoEli fans, the KotoKana-themed second volume for KanaMari and KotoUmi fans.)
    • Same questions as [up]:
      • "May have" - did this happen, or did it not?
      • What is the magazine's name?
      • Who are the fans hating, for getting in the way of their ship?

Responding to this comment:

1. ...okay, no "May have" since it happened.

2. That what it says. Love Live! General Magazine.

3. Eli adjusting Riko's tie and Kotori hugging Kanan.

From page 256 @Tomodachi:

Dross has been known for catchphrases in his videos and video-vlogs.

Largely abandoned in his main channel, they still appear from time to time on his vlogs, and his fanbase remembers them fondly.

LLSS' YMMV page

Remove the double %s on one of the Incest Yay Shipping examples, and some updates:

From:

  • It's only a matter of time that both You and Tsuki are portrayed as an incestuous couple. It helps that Tsuki's first (androgynous) appearances talks to You
like a couple on a date (with bonus as Chika and Riko actually look jealous).

To:

  • Both You and Tsuki Watanabe are also portrayed as an incestuous couple like how fans shipped Dia and Ruby. It helps that Tsuki's first (androgynous) appearance in the Over The Rainbow movie talks to You like a couple on a date (with a bonus as Chika and Riko actually look jealous).

Made some tweaks

Pokémon/Reality Ensues:

  • During the Indigo Tournament arc, Ash is shown not taking his training as seriously as he should, often time getting sidetracked. While he does win his first few matches, most were usually somewhat luck-based. However, his laziness eventually catches up to him when his Charizard disobeys him when he's forced to use it as a last resort. His act of disobedience ends up getting Ash disqualified when Charizard falls asleep on the field, when it doesn't see Richie's Pikachu as a worthy challenge, leaving Ash to mope in private about his loss afterward. Professor Oak is the one who has to remind him that in the end, Ash has no one to blame but himself for slacking off and relying too much on luck to see him through. The words seem to have stuck, particularly after witnessing Ritchie more kindly saying the same thing about himself for underestimating the competition after his similar crushing loss. Ritchie adds how defeats can be invaluable for both trainers' growth as well, showing Ash that one significant loss does not have to mean the end of the world, so long as he was willing to learn from it. Afterward, Ash puts much more effort into becoming a better trainer.

Love Live's Fanon page

Love Live! Sunshine!!

  • Some fans portray Riko as a level-headed and a strategically selfish cheater when it comes to "stealing" Chika's heart (since the first season's 1st episode, to the point of confessing Chika that she loves her since the 10th episode) while also fiddling with You's feelings for Chika and taking Yoshiko away from Hanamaru (since the second season's 5th episode).

(Sandwich this between the AC folder's 7th and 8th examples)

Mobile Suit Gundam 00's YMMV page

(Time for some rewrite with context)

  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
    • Some felt that Ali al-Saachez could have been a better main antagonist of the entire series (given the fact that he remorselessly killed dozens of characters such as Neil Dylandy, Michael and Johan Trinity, and Kinue Crossroad) if he turned against Ribbons and the rest of the Innovators to continue his rampage against Celestial Being (and to an extent, the Earth Sphere Federation, the Union, Human Reform League, and A-LAWS) just to finish what he started, rather than ultimately serving as the Innovators willing pawn.

Love Live! School idol festival ALL STARS' YMMV page

Remove the first 3 examples written in the Epileptic Trees trope, and replace it with this:

  • Many fans are expecting the story of the Nijigasaki High School Idol Club to be the same as the previous two series: The announcement of the school closing down, and the school idols going to their separate ways (read:Disband) in the future.

(If correct, do the same remove-and-change method for the "Love Live! School Idol Festival and its spin-offs" AC folder in Love Live's epileptic Trees page

Love Live's YMMV page

    • When it comes to mentioning male characters in the franchise, Honoka's father gets the most mention due to his occasional screentime in the first 2 seasons of the anime and the movie.

(Sandwich this between the trope's 1st and 2nd example)

  • Hollywood Healing
  • Sleepless
  • Jamie Foxx's character was stabbed when his son was kidnapped but he was able to move around when he physically shouldn't have been able to. While throughout the film it was acknowledged, as he was shown to be in pain and it somewhat affected his ability to move around, he was able to continue on.
  • He was later hit in the gut, getting shot by a huge gun but he survived and was in a regular hospital room, instead of being in ICU.

  • Jamie Foxx's character was stabbed when his son was kidnapped, [comma] but he was able to move around even though he physically shouldn't have been able to. While his injury was acknowledge throughout the film, as he was shown to be in pain and it somewhat affected his ability to move around, he was able to continue on. He was later shot in the gut by a huge gun, but he survived and was treated in a regular hospital room, instead of in the ICU.

The example should be written all on one bullet point, not split up into two. Also, if Jamie Foxx's character has a name, you should probably use that instead.

It helps that in Tsuki's first (androgynous) appearance in the Over The Rainbow movie, she talks to You like they are a couple on a date (while Chika and Riko actually look jealous).
    • Again, do not include "also" (or "too" or "as well"), because they are disrupting the flow of the example. If you removed the example preceding it, then the "also" et al hangs in there, referring to nothing at all.

  • No Yay: Many fans (including several shippers) are pretty much against any incest relationship between Ruby and Dia.

    • The parentheticals are very difficult to understand. I'm assuming these are meant to indicate when certain events happened, but the phrasing and position of the phrases are muddled and clumsily phrased.
    • This seems more like Alternative Character Interpretation.
