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.

Now, as an example of how to follow How to Write an Example - Keep it Brief and Avoid Detail Bloat, I will try to cut this example down to the bare essentials. You didn't say what trope you're talking about (if any), so I'm restricting the example to White Cosmos being dangerous and/or evil.

White Cosmos is the King of Oscillatory Universe, the secret leader of the Acceleration Research Society and the older sister of Black Lotus. Aware that all previous Virtual Worlds were destroyed, Cosmos became She is determined to finish Brain Burst by all possible means, like leading the brutal murder of Saphron Blosson and lying to her pupils or manipulating her own sister to murder the Red King when he was trying to create a lasting peace, causing Lotus' exile in both real and virtual worlds.

When Tezcatlipoca is born, Cosmos immediately seizes control of him, thanks her enemies for their unwilling help for her plans and kidnaps Lotus' boyfriend while using the threat of Tezcatlipoca to blackmail him to be her spy. <- period confusing Silver Crow with her friendly behaviour despite her atrocities.

^ As you can see, I have deleted everything that's not necessary to show how evil/dangerous she is, thus considerably shortening the entry.

Black Vise is the vice-chairman of the Acceleration Research Society and also Ivory Tower from the White Legion, using his special ability to maintain dual identities. Having participated in the brutal murder of Saphron Blossom and the birth of Chrome Disaster in the past, Vise became fascinated with the latter's potential. Years later, Vise uses and discards other Burst Linkers such as Dusk Taker and the unwilling Wolfram Cerberus to create a second Chrome Disaster using the Negative Incarnation stored on the ISS Kits. When Nega Nebulus discovers links between the Society and the White Legion, Ivory Tower evacuates the Society members and participates in the defense of White Legion Territory, showing respect towards his enemies and being forced to expose his Black Vise form to save himself. When his secret identity is revealed to the other Kings, Vise sacrifices himself to trap them into a death loop after declaring his excitement at seeing that the impulsivity of Nega Nebulus could challenge his careful planning.

^ Could you please go through this example and delete everything that doesn't directly show how evil/dangerous he is, the way I did above?

Thank you, Arivne. Well, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. It looks like I'm going to be on this thread for a long time, and I feel bad about that given how much we've been through. The Have You Told Anyone Else? and Moral Event Horizon mistakes were both ones were I initially didn't have those particular mistakes but somehow erased key words in the process of editing other mistakes or trying to reduce my word count.

Here's my stuff from yesterday and earlier this morning (about 2/3rds of it, anyway).

@ Dark Waters

@ Black Tide Rising
  • Give Geeks a Chance: Billy, the protagonist of the short story Ham Sandwich, recalls how lucky he felt in high school that his pretty, popular girlfriend Cindy liked him, an overweight kid obsessed with electronics.
@ Non Sequitur Harsher in Hindsight
  • One late 2020 strip has Captain Eddie telling a group of people who have secluded themselves from society during the Trump presidency that it should be safe for them to come home soon unless "the coup" is successful. This strip came out just a few weeks before the 2021 Capitol riots focused on stopping the electoral college from confirming Joe Biden as president.
@ Dial-a-Ghost
  • Aerith and Bob: The eldest known Snodde-Brittles are five siblings named Archie, Mungo, Frederica, James, and Rollo.
@ Castle
  • Beckett and Castle go over several students in the English language class who had important jobs in their home countries but are now doing Ethnic Menial Labor. Castle asks what the last one, a janitor at an elementary school, did in his home country and is told that he was ... a janitor at an elementary school there as well.
  • Perlmutter (who has gotten noticeably less attractive since his last appearance) expresses delight about how Castle and Beckett have broken up (unaware that they're back together) and talks about setting Beckett up with his identical twin brother Edgar. As Beckett tries to make an excuse not to, Castle arrives, and Perlmutter goes into a jealous rant about "nitwit pretty boys like you" who make it hard for Edgar (and implicitly Perlmutter himself) to find girlfriends.
  • Ryan and Esposito Tempting Fate by talking about how glad they are that their stressful day is almost over, right before they try to open a locker under FBI surveillance and get shoved to the ground and handcuffed.
@ Cobra Kai
If Anthony becomes more prominent, he'll have some sort of encounter with Tory's brother.
@ Variable Star
  • The Elites Jump Ship: The Conrad family, the wealthiest people in the galaxy, develop a faster-than-light starship they use to escape Earth with a few servants when the sun goes nova. They catch up with Joel's Generation Ship and offer to help save its people. Most of them are sincere, but Richard is just planning to steal the ship's supplies and then abandon the people onboard.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: Jinny and her younger cousin Evelyn resemble each other, to the point where Joel initially thinks he's seeing two Jinny's when he meets the Conrads again after Evelyn's grown up.
@ Honest Corporate Executive
  • Recurring character Sam Banner owns a pharmaceutical company that makes drugs that increase people's intelligence, prevent hangovers, cure the common cold, and make people friendlier. Banner also works to make antidotes to his various drugs in case they have any unwelcome side effects (e.g. the friendliness drug makes a bank guard let two robbers take all of the money in the vault) and distributes them in a way that decreases his profit margin whenever any side effects manifest and are harming society as a whole.
@ Day of the Dead (1985) @ Thunderbolts
  • When Zemo recruits him, a bored Fixer has been splicing old movies together so he can watch Godzilla play the Peter Lorre character in Casablanca.
  • The Exact Words Black Comedy when Zemo tells Jolt that Songbird/Mimi’s boyfriend was tragically shot during a bank robbery, given that he was one of the bank robbers.
@ The King Nobody Wanted
  • Torture Technician: Ronald "The Bad" Vance half-drowns prisoners to get information and tells Lord Bolton he considers his preferred method of skinning ineffective.

That might have been the fastest edit I can ever remember you making, and it was a pretty thorough one at that. Just saying thank you feels kind of inadequate after that.

It seems that I've been getting too dependent on grammerly lately, and gotten overconfident in my ability to spot misspelled words that still make some words, such as DuPoint and not DuPont. Hopefully this time will be different.

For Strong Family Resemblance Yes, I did man that Jinny and Evelyn resemble each other. I included the spoilers because it isn't initially revealed that the Conrads survive the supernova, and if they hadn't, Joel would have never seen Evelyn except as a child.

@ The King Nobody Wanted

  • Death by Adaptation: Jeor Mormont is mortally wounded by Targaryen loyalists while they're rescuing Alliser Thorne and his allies from the dungeons of Harrenhal.
  • Do Not Call Me "Paul": Lord Aerys Chelsted prefers to be called Rys to avoid being associated with his tyrannical namesake, who made Rys' father "Master of Coin, King's Hand, and then King's candlestick in turn."
  • Honest Advisor: Lord Rys Chelsted believes in absolute frankness, combined with Gentleman Snarker quips. While building up to an argument that Stannis should stop impounding merchant ships, he says that, as the king, Stannis has the right to paint himself blue and parade around naked, but that doesn't mean he should do it.
    Stannis: You share your truths quite freely, I see.
    Lord Chelsted: As I have told you, Your Grace, it is my understanding that is what you wish from me. Should you wish a liar and a flatterer, well, say the word and I will go find you one. They are about King's Landing in great abundance.
  • Too Dumb to Live: Once Balon declares himself Iron King and betrays Stannis after Quellon dies, Victorian announces his intention to sail home and fight for his brother. He declares this while surrounded by Riverlands soldiers. Since he has forfeited his guest right (more or less) by announcing his intent to wage war against his host, they arrest him on the spot.
  • @ The Phil Silvers Show
  • Evil Power Vacuum: When Bilko is cured of his gambling addiction by a new type of tranquilizer, Colonel Hall rejoices until he learns that gambling on the post has actually increased without Bilko's monopoly.
    Captain Barker: There was still crime in Chicago after they got rid of Al Capone.
@ That Darn Cat!
  • Exact Words: Ingrid promises her sister that she won't take her suspicions to the police, but she doesn't say anything about the FBI.
  • Failed a Spot Check: When Canoe sees DC is wearing a watch around his neck, he expresses surprise at the late time and then hurries off without giving it another thought.
  • Feet-First Introduction: As Iggy walks into a store to buy some salmon and DC starts following him, the first that's shown of him is his feet.
  • Mistaken for Cheating: Canoe is understandably suspicious of Patti when he hears a man's voice upstairs after Patti abruptly cancels their date and won't let him in her house.

Can someone correct me?

Tintin- The Secret of the Unicorn

  • Off-Model: The screaming old woman at Sakharine's appartment has a dark green coat in the first panel she appears in, but the coat is blue in every other panels.

Titeuf

  • Terrible Artist:
    • Titeuf's drawing skills are rather inconsistant, but several strips are about him being bad at drawing so a joke can work.
    • Hugo's portrait of Titeuf looks more like a dog than anything else, much to the anger of Titeuf.
  • Under Water Fart Gag: In a strip where Titeuf lists things he considers cool, he mentions farting in his bath first.

What The Cut - YMMV

  • Discredited Meme: Starting from the 35th episode, each episode was victim of Schedule Slip, as a result, it became very common among French internet users to joke and make memes about delays between episodes at the time even though Antoine Daniel quickly got tired of these jokes. However, since a few years after the last episode came out and when Antoine Daniel was vocal about how tired he was of What the Cut as a whole and of only being associated to it, fans stopped doing these jokes by respect for him and people who continue joking about the episodes' delays are quickly told by fans that they are unfunny and disrespectful.

Amazing Technicolor Population

  • The Smurfs all have natural blue skin, but there are several instances where Smurfs get other unusual skin color by differents means.
    • The first story is about a bug called the "Bzz Fly" that turns Smurfs into zombie equivalent by stinging them which also gives them pitch black skin. In some translations and the animated adaptation, it's changed to purple skin.
    • In a story where the Smurfs find a wish-granting egg, three Smurfs asked to have red, yellow and green and purple striped skin. There's also a Smurf that wish for an other one to have pale green skin.
    • In a story, Gargamel feeds a poison to almost every Smurfs in the village which gives them differents difformities, this include different skin colors for some of them.

Launching a trope soon and i want to make sure my description is ok.

Implied Rape is when the word rape is never uttered but they are implied to have happened.

This is mostly done with the use of certain words and phrases, like "violated" or "defiled" or the behavior and actions of a person, acting distant or shaken.

It's most often seen in a work in which they can't say the word, like a kid's show.

Another possible reason why the word rape is never said is because the perpetrator may actually be the protagonist of the work. Since Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil, audience are not going to root for the person who actually raped a person.

The trope can still happen even if the rape obviously happened but for one reason or another the word is still not said.

Compare Never Say "Die" and The Body Parts That Must Not Be Named. Maybe accompany by Rape Discretion Shot

josef:

"inconsistent" has an E in it.

"each episode was a victim of Schedule Slip. As a result..." Also, you can strike "very" from "very common".

"However, starting a few years after the last episode came out, when Antoine Daniel was vocal about how tired he was of What the Cut as a whole and of being associated with that and nothing else, fans stopped making jokes like that out of respect"

"into a zombie equivalent"

"In some translations as well as the animated adaptation,"

"three Smurfs ask to"

"that wishes for another smurf"

"different deformities. For some of them, this includes..."

MichaelKatsuro Since: Apr, 2011
#9290: Jan 9th 2021 at 5:38:52 PM

No, it's "plans on" that's better.

And the reason is that "is planning on" indicates that it's happening at a specific moment but "plans on" is more long-term.

For instance, "Americans vote for presidential candidates" means that Americans have a system where they vote for presidential candidates.

But "Americans are voting for presidential candidates" means that they're voting right now, that it's going on as we speak.

Here's one for Evil Is Angular:

Batman: The Animated Series: The Joker is the main villain, and has the most angular features out of the bunch, particularly in his later appearances. His chin and nose look sharp enough to cut someone, and even his eyes are closer to triangular than round.

Factwise, that's not really accurate. That show doesn't have a Big Bad as such. The Joker appears more than any other villain, but he's not the man behind all the other villains, and he's not got some long ongoing plan. He just has a new plan in each new episode where he appears, just like the other villains.

@ Hunt for the Wilderpeople
  • Face Palm: Hec buries his face in his hands after first seeing a wanted poster for Ricky and himself.
  • Lonely Funeral: After Bella dies, there are only seven mourners at the church service, including Hec and Ricky.
