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.

Michael Katsuro you forgot to remove these under Johnny Bravo.

  • Same goes with Meltman from the Action League Now! sketches.
  • Prometheus of Prometheus and Bob.
  • The Boolie brothers in Race Rabbit.
  • Fondue (and, at times, Sniz).

Western Animation:

  • The Pink Panther:
    • The Little White Man usually has to deal with most of the Pink Panther's antics such as trying to paint his house blue but the Pink Panther keeps painting it pink, the Pink Panther interrupting his chores when he's trying to fly a kite, and the Pink Panther stealing his entire house and driving him crazy.
    • The Aardvark from The Ant and the Aardvark always wants to catch the ant but most of his plans keep backfiring on him or he gets attacked by other animals.
    • Inspector Clouseau from The Inspector always has it rough, he has to work for a short-tempered boss, gets beaten up by most of the criminals he has to arrest, and gets blown up a lot of times.

Cliff finds out his daughter is pregnant after he sees a bunch of baby shower gifts in her house.

[up][up] Michael Katsuro. I meant to say that the heroines who are from St. Charles Academy are somewhat "unwholesome" in context (they’re Catholic schoolgirls, but they don’t look innocent enough)...

Minorica: Ah, that explains it. See, Catholic School Girls Rule is about Catholic school girls, or other people wearing their uniforms, being portrayed as sexy, specifically. It's not about wholesomeness in general. So there needs to be something in your trope description where you actually mention that they (and not just one of the girls) are presented as sexy.

  • Periphery Demographic: Men are this game's target group. There's a fair amount of fan service, and an NSFW version to boot. But it's got some female players, too, thanks to the vivid themes and cute heroines.

  • Song Association: Because this game only uses GANG PARADE's songs as background musics, some players associate GANG PARADE's songs with it.

The All There Is To Know About The Crying Game seems to be wrong. You talk about people who have played the game, but that trope is mainly about what's known among people who haven't played it.

Also, Pop-Culture Isolation doens't count either—"adults" are too broad as a group.

Rated M for Money: The colorful visuals and deep plot are the biggest selling points, but the NSFW version certainly helps, too.

I removed Darker and Edgier since that's about pre-existing works of fiction that get new, darker versions, and not about works that were dark in their first incarnations. All in all, I'd recommend that you read trope descriptions more carefully.

Needs More Love: MGCM has stunning visuals. Its opening animation is gorgeous, the character art is well-made, its themes are vidid...

BTW, in Needs More Love, can I add “the story is balanced between seriousness, comedy and cheerfulness. Yet an Aesop is similar with Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: "There’s always hope in despair".”?

I'd replace the first part of the second sentence with "It shares an Aesop with Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica:"

Also, I'd remove the quotation marks from "There's always hope in despair".

for Oden

  • Anger Born of Worry: Downplayed. After Denjiro and Kin'emon begin to follow Oden, the latter is clearly disgusted and avoids them. However, when Oded sees the two standing out in the rain, he asks them what are they doing and they reply that they're guarding his house. Oden calls them idiots and angrily orders them to come inside.
  • Iconic Outfit: Oden wears a traditional orange Kapanese worker kimono, but its most distinguished feature is the large obi belt with a huge bow on his back. An identical obi belt is worn by Yamato, which denotes how she is trying to be like Oden.
  • Let's Get Dangerous!: After learning that Kaido has killed Hyo's wife and children, Oden goes to confront him, wearing the bow of his obi belt on the front. Once Kaido confirms that he and Orochi never intended to keep the deal, Oden turns the bow of his belt on the back to get ready to fight.

for Momonosuke

  • Grew a Spine: Initially, Momonosuke is an easily scared kid who has to live on the shadow of his father, Kozuki Oden, who was a very strong and fearless warrior. Momo himself has to admit how much he hates that he cannot live up to his father. During the third act of Wano, however, Momo slowly becomes braver. First he attempts to escape from Kanjuro, but is caught and beaten up for it. Momonosuke then culminates his Character Development when, while tied to a stake to be executed, he proudly declares himself to be a Kozuki, even if it would cost his life.
  • Real Men Don't Cry: When Momo is about to be killed by Kaido, hetries to be brave and not cry because he believes he's now a man and that a man shouldn't cry. However, he's still an eight year old kid and cannot contain his tears.
  • Tears of Fear: As expected from an eight year old kid, Momonosuke can't help but cry when Kaido is about to execute him.

for the akazaya Nine

  • Color-Coded for Your Convenience: To further set them apart from each other, each one has a different main coloration.
    • Kin'emon is half red and half black and white stripes.
    • Kanjuro mostly is reddish pink, given by his very long hair.
    • Raizo wears a light blue ninja outfit.
    • Dogstorm's outfit is mostly dark blue and his fur is brown.
    • Catviper is yellow and red.
    • Kikunojo wears a bright yellow kimono, but her dark hair gives a contrast to Catviper's yellow coloration.
    • Ashura Dohji is pink.
    • Kawamatsu is green, befitting for a fishman who tries to pass off as a kappa.
    • Denjiro is blue, with his hair being a lighter shade of blue.

for Shanks

  • Badass Pacifist: Shanks is one of the four strongest pirates of the world, but he, along with Whitebeard, doesn't intend to start any conflict, and Shanks even tries to prevent them, acting as some sort of mediator between the world's biggest powers. When some bandits mock him, Shanks shrugs off the insults and doesn't reply. He also intervenes to stop Paramount War, threatening to fight anyone who is willing to continue the fight.

for Big Mom

  • Equal-Opportunity Evil: Deconstructed. Charlotte Linlin rules over Tottoland, where members of all races (sans giants) live in harmony, and Linlin herself has given birth to many hybrids after marrying people from all races. However, this is not the result of being pragmatic or open-minded, but because of Linlin's childish mentality and wish to make a kingdom where people of all races live together. The inhabitants are forced to stay and pay a piece of their soul as a tax, while all of her husbands have been forced to marry her and give her children, which Linlin treats more as pieces of collection rather than her own children.

for Yamato

  • Berserker Tears: After she learns that her father is indeed willing to blow her up if she tries to escape, Yamato cries out of sadness and anger as she falls toward Kaido.

For MGCM YMMV:

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Before MGCM was released, these are several premises of Magical Girl Raising Project: The magical girls are scouted through the smartphone app, fighting demonic entities, they have hitatsus and kiais, the battle between magical girls, they later get into very lethal troubles, a blob shaped mascot, and they also have weirdly shaped weapons. Coincidence?note

Tales of Crestoria Characters

  • Related in the Adaptation: In Abyss, Luke is a replica of Ashe; in Crestoria, he's human and has a twin brother who went missing during his childhood. It implies the name of Luke's brother is Ashe.

  • It's All My Fault: Luke blames himself for the destruction of Southvein, many lives lost after being manipulative by Senegal, and not listening to Kanata and the other's warning about him.

  • Adaptational Nice Guy: In Abyss, Jade blames Luke for the destruction of Akzeriuth, leave him and it took a long time for Jade to trust Luke again. In Crestoria, he wasn't angry or blaming Luke for the destruction of Southvein. He instead will help Luke another way to atone his sins instead of giving up living.
