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.

"Vassago Casals, also called PoH (short for Prince of Hell), is forced to become a criminal because of unfortunate circumstances, but he proves his vileness by willingly becoming a murderer. After entering SAO to kill a target, Vassago becomes the founder of the Laughing Coffin guild, where he rallies together the worst of those trapped in the game—including Xa Xa and Johnny Black—and has them slaughter their fellow players, simply for the sheer joy that Vassago takes in seeing East Asian players kill each other. Later betraying his own Guild and abandoning it to die, Vassago corrupts other players and sends them to kill those who had participated in the Laughing Coffin's downfall. Returning in Alicization as a member of Glowgen Defence Systems, Vassago becomes Gabriel Miller's right-hand man, and leads Gabriel's brutal invasion of the Human Territory. When Japanese players appear to try to contain the invasion, Vassago contacts unaware players, lies to them about the situation and connects them to the Underworld so that Vassago can enjoy the violence. After finding a comatose Kirito, Vassago tortures him and promises to torture his loved ones to death. A sadistic murderer, Vassago proves his sheer vileness by always taking bad situations and making them worse for his own amusement."
One thing you need to remember is that if you say "[Verb]ing, he [verb]s," you're implying that the two things are happening simultaneously.
So it's fine to say "Smoking a cigarette, he thinks things over." But you wouldn't say "Unlocking the car door, he enters the car," because then you're implying that he entered the car while he was still in the process of unlocking it. (This rule isn't set down in stone, but it's a pretty good piece of advice.)

"No matter how bad the heroes can get or how bad the situation is, we're sure we can overcome it and get our happy endings..."Fighteer suggested I come hear for help with grammar until I don't need any help, so how do I fix my poor grammar? Could someone also check on my trope Parasitic Immortality in TLP on grammar, and see if it's up to snuff? After it was deleted, and I was banned Fighteer said it was put back in TLP, so I don't know if its still there and I can't edit it.

"No matter how bad the heroes can get or how bad the situation is, we're sure we can overcome it and get our happy endings..."For The Multiverse Video Game section:
- MGCM uses this as one of its major premises, with Quantum Physics might possibly involved. The enemy demons are originated from Demon Realm (a distant dimension), and they enter the universes through fluxes to eat humans' existences, resulting the victims Ret-Gone. The fluxes are created by organisms from Demon Realm, which allows the demons to travel into other universes. The fluxes also cause some abnormalities between alternate universes, such as getting teleported into an alternate universe, etc.
Anyway, the infinite number of alternate universes and alternate selves are already exist before the game starts. Tobio and the heroines also meet their own alternate selves and evil doppelgangers from another alternate universes.

Michael Katsuro, since the trope example about XBOX is a gaming console, should I put it in Video Game or Miscellaneous folder?

Anything to correct here ?
Henry Stickmin Series - Character (Reginald)
- Narrator: He narrates the ending of the Executive/Allies route, which is the only ending of all games in the series to have narration.
Animator VS Animation - YMMV
- Ass Pull: At the end of The Showdown, The Dark Lord has killed all of the Second Coming's friends and badly wounded him, it looks like he won but then, the Second Coming gets healed and gains super powers out of nowhere and proceed to curb stomp the Dark Lord, destroys his ViraBots and resurect his friends. There is no explanations on how the Second Coming got powers and the fact that he was originally a Badass Normal with MacGyvering tendencies was what made him unique compared to the Chosen One and the Dark Lord.
Madness Combat
- Extremely Short Timespan: While episodes from the first one to to Depredation (episode 5) are separated by time skips of unknown lenght, starting from Depredation every episodes take place directly after the other meaning that in the span of a few dozens of minutes, several characters died and came back to life, sometime multiple times, the protagonists fought armies of agents (who themselves have been upgraded twice), genetically modified soldiers with yellow blood, giant peoples and skeletons, stormed multiple buildings, got new clothes, travelled in hellish dimensions, got new powers and Hank got a mutant arm he lost twice only to get a better one seconds or minutes later. Depredation came out in 2005 while the series is still ongoing nowaday.
- Fingore: At the beginning of 9.5, an ATP engineer accidentally cuts an other guy's fingers with a sword while trying to attack Hank.
- Irony: Episode 5, 6 and 7 focuses on Hank, while 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 focus on Sanford and Deimos, however, episode 9 focus on Sanford and Deimos while episode 9.5 focus on Hank.
- In ''WarCraft II, clicking on an orc ship enough time will make a crewmate say he's gonna be sick, continuing to click will play a vomiting sound.
Epic Battle Fantasy - Character (Giant Squid)
- Flunky Boss: It can summons blue jellyfishes and blue slimes to assist itself.
Asterix the Legionary
- Unknown Rival: Obelix doesn't like Tragicomix and is jealous of him because he's Panacea's fiancee, but Tragicomix isn't aware of this because he don't know that Obelix is also in love with her. In fact, Tragicomix have lots of respect for Obelix because he and Asterix saved him from the Romans and he saw Obelix charging at a Roman army all alone. When he sees Panacea again he actually praises Obelix to her for his feats.

I removed the last part, which was just complaining.

The Irony entry can just be cut. Or if you don't want that, you need context to explain how it's ironic.
"In ''Warcraft II, clicking on an orc ship enough time will make a crew mate say he's gonna be sick. Continue to click and you'll hear a vomiting sound."
Flunky Boss: It can summon blue jellyfish and blue slimes to assist itself.
Unknown Rival: Obelix doesn't like Tragicomix and is jealous of him being Panacea's fiancee. But Tragicomix isn't aware that Obelix is in love with her, let alone that he's jealous of Tragicomix. In fact, he has lots of respect for Obelix after being saved from the Romans by him and Asterix, and seeing Obelix charging at a Roman army all alone. When Tragicomix sees Panacea again he actually praises Obelix to her for his feats.
(Ah, good old Asterix... I need to re-re-re-read the books someday...)
The irony is in the episodes numbers.
Episodes 5, 6 and 7 are about Hank
Episodes 5.5, 6.5 and 7.5 are about Sanford and Deimos
Episode 9 is about Sanford and Deimos while episode 9.5 is about Hank
But since it's more meta than In-Universe, I guess it can be forgoten about.

"No matter how bad the heroes can get or how bad the situation is, we're sure we can overcome it and get our happy endings..."

EDIT: Oh, maybe somebody already fixed this one and the one below. Eh, whaddaya gonna do.
"Quinella rules the Underworld as the High Minister of the Axiom Church. In an effort to obtain immortality, she fuses herself with the Cardinal System of the Underworld, calls herself a goddess and begins corrupting the souls of the Underworld nobility by spreading ignorance and fear among the populace. She also brainwashes every rebel fighting against her government and the Champions of the Four Empires Unity Tournament—something which she had done for centuries while also performing fatal experiments on innocents. After realizing the invasion of the Dark Territory is inevitable, Quinella confiscates every line of defense from the Human Empire to make the people more dependent on the Axiom Church. She transforms the loyal Integrity Knights' loved ones into swords and forms a Golem out of them, making them believe they are protecting their loved ones while feeling constant agony to protect "her" empire. Said empire is so bad that both Kirito and Cardinal feel that destroying the Underworld would be better than having Quinella rule it."
(I'm not sure if "feeling constant agony to protect" is the right term. Maybe "feeling constant desire" would work better?)
