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.

Sickening “Crunch!”

Anime and Manga

Dragon Ball

  • In the Saiyan Saga, Vegeta, in his Great ape form has a weakened Son Goku in his clutches. As Vegeta crushes his foe, a cracking sound emits from beneath Vegeta's digits, as he snaps Goku’s Torso, arms, and what's left of Goku’s legs (Vegeta stomped on them moments earlier), causing the latter to shriek in agony.

Hello, this is Blackbison 01. here is another post for editing.

Yu-Gi-Oh! /Awesome

Katsuya Jonouchi/Joey Wheeler

Of everything the Duel Monsters anime didn’t live up too among Joey's feats, was his manga exclusive altercation with Bandit Keith the night prior to the duelist kingdom finals. Keith sneaks into Joey’s room, and steals his qualification card needed to participate in the finals. When Keith exits the room, Yugi catches Keith, though only after the deed, and assumes he was attempting to break in. As Yugi shouts to warn Joey, Keith brutally assaults Yugi and tries to silence him. Cue Joey appearing behind Keith and decking him in the jaw so hard, he knocks the bloody wind out of him and drops the cretin like a ton of bricks. The last time Joey delivered such an ass whooping, he fractured the jaw of a Bruce Lee Fanboy and martial arts practitioner who assaulted Yugi over petty reasons and robbed him of the Millennium Puzzle. Joey definitely cam a long way since the Manga's beginnings

Sanrio Characters

Sanrio YMMV

  • Heartwarming Moments: The Official Sanrio Puroland Youtube channel, has a series starring Mell note  working at Puroland by cheering up guests, and working at various locations in the indoor theme park. While the series itself is cute to watch, the 8th video, shows everyone (including the cast members) celebrating Mell's birthday. Mainly when everybody sings "Happy Birthday" while she is visibly touched and starts to cry a bit. The 7th video also showed Mell giving a presentation at an office. After a special announcement, the entire Puroland staff start clapping at the rabbit and gives Mell, her own stuffed animals of herself.

In the Saiyan Saga, Vegeta, in his Great Ape form has a weakened Son Goku in his clutches. As Vegeta crushes his foe, a cracking sound emits from beneath Vegeta's digits <- no comma as he snaps Goku’s torso, arms, and what's left of his legs (Vegeta stomped on them moments earlier), causing the latter to shriek in agony.

^ "Great ape". Either "ape" should be capitalized or "Great" shouldn't be. Based on a Google check, it's Great Ape.

Changed verbs from past to present tense as per How to Write an Example - Write in Historical Present Tense.

Of everything among Joey's feats the Duel Monsters anime didn’t live up to, the worst (???) is his manga-exclusive altercation with Bandit Keith the night prior to the duelist kingdom finals. Keith sneaks into Joey’s room <- no comma and steals his qualification card needed to participate in the finals. When Keith exits the room <- no comma Yugi catches him, though only after the deed, and assumes he was attempting to break in. As Yugi shouts to warn Joey, Keith brutally assaults Yugi and tries to silence him. Cue Joey appearing behind Keith and decking him by hitting him in the jaw so hard, he knocks the bloody wind out of him and drops the cretin like a ton of bricks. The last time Joey delivered such an ass whooping, he fractured the jaw of a Bruce Lee fanboy and martial arts practitioner who assaulted Yugi for petty reasons and robbed him of the Millennium Puzzle. Joey definitely has come a long way since the manga's beginnings. <- period

^ "Decking" is knocking someone to the ground, not just hitting them.

^ The term cretin is a disability-related term with negative connotations, so you should avoid using it.

Penny Marshall, who plays main character Laverne, directed the season four episode "Squiggy in Love", the season five episode "The Duke of Squigman", and two season six episodes, <- comma "The Dating Game" and "But Seriously, Folks".

^ If you make a person's name a Wiki Word, you need to add the appropriate Namespace or it will automatically be a Red Link.

Cindy Williams, who plays main character Shirley, directed the season six episode <- no comma "Sing, Sing, Sing".

Rocky Carroll, who plays Director Leon Vance, directed the season twelve episode "We Build, We Fight", two season thirteen episodes, <- comma "Viral" and Deja Vu", the season fourteen episode "Off the Grid", three season fifteen episodes, <- comma "Skeleton Crew", "Family Ties", and "Death From Above", and three season sixteen episodes, <- comma "Beneath the Surface", "The Last Link", and "Silent Service".

Michael Weatherly, who plays Special Agent Tony DiNozzo, directed the season eight episode "One Last Score" and the season ten episode "Seek".

^ If someone's name is a Wiki Word (like Di Nozzo), you need to put it inside null tags so the Wiki software won't make it a Red Link.

For example:

  • DiNozzo -> Di Nozzo
  • [=DiNozzo=] -> DiNozzo

The Awesomes: Seth Meyers, who co-created the show, voices main character <- no comma Jeremy "Prock" Awesome.

CSI: NY: Gary Sinise, who plays main character <- no comma Mac Taylor, wrote two episodes: the season two episode "Live or Let Die" and the season five episode "Turbulence".

Ghost Whisperer: <- space Jennifer Love Hewitt, who plays main character Melinda Gordon, directed the season four episode "Body of Water" and two season five episodes, <- comma "Birthday Presence" and "Implosion".
