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.

Black-and-White Morality: The Indian Empire is the Good, as they are meritocratic as well as being less war oriented than even the Reich. The Union of India is The Evil, as they are actively trying to take over all of India, trying to overturn all forms of nobility, and are destroying everything in their part, including the workers they claim to protect, whether the people of India want them to take over or not.

For the recap page of the OKKO episode "Rad Likes Robots"
- Strawman Has a Point: According to Raymond, and Boxman, love must only be granted when certain expectations are met. Since they are villains, it's likely we are to see that viewpoint as wrong. But let's think about it this way, you'd certainly expect your partner to treat you with love and respect, right? So, if your partner doesn't treat you with either of those things, they're not worth your love.
Kaiserreich: The nation is ruled by a Kaiser, the Reich is... fairly militaristic in World War 1, and the most dominant culture in The Reich is German.
Superdickery: In Part 5, Willhelma lashes out on News reporters. It was explained that Willhelma was stressed, and the news media is Strawman News Media, so they deserved it. Justified, as before this Willhelma saw her husband as well as other people she cared about get killed by the hands of Elias Anhorn, as well as just gaining her superpowers doing a toll on Willhelma's mental state.

I am about to add 3 new tropes for This Isekai Maid Is Forming A Union! page. But, I need to know if the grammar in the 3 tropes I have written down below are okay.
- Demon of Human Origin: According to the Author's tumblr Q&A, Demons who were once human are manifestations of the magic within people that are not properly contained and are afraid of death, such as with Mr.Hughes, an antagonist of one of the otome isekai novels Bridgette's alternate counterpart read and Marinus Demeter's previous self from the previous timeline.
- Heroic BSoD: Bridgette suffers this in Episode 46, when she saw the visitor who is staying in Anders Household is actually Phoebe, the person who brings suffering to her previous incarnation that leads to her death. Bridgette begins to have an emotional trauma, worrying that she will once again die so young like her previous incarnations.
- Noble Fugitive: This is what happened to Phoebe after her husband King Dimitri and her family are killed by the Kolt revolutionaries, leaving her and her child to flee to Teffrah and remain in the Anders Household as a safe house.
For Audience-Alienating Ending Video Games:
- The Kindaichi Case Files: Devil's Murder Voyage: The Golden Ending ends with Hiromi Akagi, the true culprit of the game, being killed by Yoichi Takato (the recurring mastermind of the series). While it's not uncommon to have the culprits getting killed at the end (either being Driven to Suicide, by outside forces or killed by someone), no matter how sympathetic they are, at least in the mangas, a portion of players (even the manga fans) are slightly disappointed about the game's ending. What's even worse is that it's exactly the thing that Hiromi wants, both Hajime and Takato aren't happy about it, and even the latter realizes that he fell into Hiromi's provocative trap and won't forgive him.
For Persona Non Grata Video Games:
- Played for Laughs in the Nintendo DS exclusive game for Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. Yako is the only one who is forbidden from eating at the family restaurant Cinderella because she ate four large pots of soup at the smorgasbord a few months ago.
For additional edits for Evil Chef Anime And Manga:
- Shirota Masakage from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, the episode villain from the 1st anime episode and chapters 4-6 of the manga. Not only does he have a short temper when someone calls his food disgusting or trash, he adds illegal drugs to make his food delicious and kills an employee who finds out about his nasty method.

"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 PlatonicWritingRomanticReading.Live Action TV:
- Wednesday: Even though Wednesday and Enid are just supposed to be best friends, many fans walked away thinking that they were romantically interested in each other. Their growing bond is one of the biggest threads of the first season and Enid is constantly trying to win Wednesday's affection. Wednesday also starts to treat Thing nicer just because Enid tells her to. When they have a fight and Enid moves out, not only is it one of the few times Wednesday is visibly saddened but it comes off to many as seeming like a break up. In the final episode, not only does Enid finally "wolf out" and take on a Hyde to save Wednesday, but their climatic hug is considered by many fans to be for more romantic than any their moments with their canon love interests.
Any corrections?
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadFor future examples of Truth in Television tropes:
- Death of a Child: Improbable Infant Survival is Impossible in Real Life, so kids can die for any number of reasons.
Bar Rescue S 2 E 3 Murphys Mess:
- Serial Escalation: To say the problems got worse throughout the episode would be more accurate than exaggeration. In order:
- The owner was so disrespectful to his staff the manager opened a competing bar stealing most of his clients
- They served drinks win more alcohol in one drink than can be legally served to one customer.
- The food was served in a cross-contaminated environment and Taffer's daughter was nearly given nachos cross-contaminated with raw chicken.
- The bartenders were not trained properly and expected to buy cleaning products with their own money.
- Viscous sludge had built up in the hood and was raining down on food.
- The coup de grace was a broken support beam holding up the floorboard that if not caught, would caused the floor to cave in and could've killed several people.

- At the end of her sole episode, Girl of the Week Claire sails to Europe to find out what kind of remaining society there. Her solo trip across the ocean and what she finds in Europe are left to the viewers imagination, but certainly aren’t boring.
- Armor-Piercing Question: In the first part of the finale, Sims initially disbelieves Markus's claim that his leader, Daniel, is an Invented Individual until Markus says that if that's true, then how is it that he, a man who has never been within several states of Daniel's territory, knows that Sims has never met the man who gave him command of the army?
- Foreshadowing: In "Voices in the Dark", Karl, a defector from the Army of Daniel, describes himself as a former political advisor and says that he helped make Daniel into the leader he is, although he is reluctant to be more specific. A later episode reveals that Daniel is an Invented Individual who his supposed inner circle literally made up as as a perfect leader.
- General Ripper:
- In the season two premier, General Waverly is the highest ranking Valhalla Sector military officer and is the most passionate advocate behind recreating the Big Death to kill the grown-up children who survived the first pandemic and are challenging the Sector's power monopoly. He also tortures Jeremiah with electric shocks and spends his last moments before dying unrepentantly ranting about how he could have conquered the whole world if not for the intervention of Jeremiah and the others.
- Sims is the Frontline General of the Army of Daniel, casually burns towns that are in negotiations with his enemies, and admits that he enjoys killing. While he does have an extremely Dark and Troubled Past and is Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life, when he learns that all of his atrocities are based on a lie, he shows no guilt or introspection and is even excited at the idea that he can use this knowledge to overthrow his superiors.
- Orphanage of Love: The series finale features a school/orphanage for children who were born out of Teen Pregnancy in the aftermath of the apocalyptic Big Death and are well-educated and cared for physically and emotionally.
- Scenery Porn: There are some pretty impressive shots of mountains and forests in several episodes.
- Spare a Messenger:
- In "Deus ex Machina", a tribe of Serial Killers who refuse to recognize The Alliance kidnap Kurdy and another scout and plan to kill one of them (and lots of innocent civilians they kidnapped) for fun and as an intimidation factor while letting the survivor tell Markus to leave them alone. Kurdy says they can let him and the other man go or neither of them, but the other man is willing to throw Kurdy under the bus and be the messenger. Mr. Smith then emerges from the woods and tries to trade himself for Kurdy, but the main psycho plans to kill both of them anyway. Smith then shares one of his visions from God and makes the killer Go Mad from the Revelation and kill himself and his allies, allowing all of the prisoners to leave safely.
- In "Running on Empty", Sims kills almost all of a party of Western Alliance members who were distributing wanted posters of him and ties one to a tree to leave him to tell the story. The man defiantly says that sooner or later, his allies will kill Sims. This annoys Sims and causes him to muse out loud that there is more than one way to send a message. He then stabs the man to death and pins one of the wanted posters to his shirt to signify who carried out the massacre.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: The nomads who briefly shelter Dr. Monash in The Face in the Mirror are last seen being questioned by Sims, and it is unclear if he lets them go after one of them reluctantly tells him where to find Monash.
- Why are there no children in the Valhalla Sector in the season two premier? And if they are there, out of sight, what happens to them after Meghan wipes out the adults there?
- Moe:
- Mr. Smith's childlike awkwardness, determination to help people, and Resigned to the Call nature about his visions all win him a lot of adoration from plenty of fans.
- In "Red Kiss" The group of kids who think Jeremiah and Kurdy are angels are very huggable, with the way they are Wise Beyond Their Years in some ways and precocious in others.
- Kent from "The Question" is the living embodiment of every The Heart cliche you could expect to find in a Boot Camp Episode story, but his actor is very earnest about it and gives him some pretty touching moments.
- Wasteland Warlord Theo is only in eight out of thirty-five episodes and can be the biggest Jerkass in the show at times, but she is still easily one of the most popular characters in the show. Put it down to how she gets some good Rousing Speeches and Jerkass Has a Point moments and has an interesting Backstory and some good Character Development.
- Gina, a New Meat soldier in {[The Alliance}}'s army, doesn't appear until six episodes before the end of the show but makes a strong impression due to her quick Character Development and Took a Level in Badass moments, and good platonic chemistry with the main cast.
- Rachel, the leader of La Résistance against Daniel in season 2, only appears in two episodes, but is a fun character to watch when she shows up.
- Paul Weil, Ezekiel's father, is mentioned in multiple episodes, but only appears in flashbacks in "Rites of Passage", where he makes quite the impression as a deeply depressed Badass Bookworm and The Atoner.
- Clarence is always interesting during the few episodes in season one where he appears as a hooded Mysterious Informant, and his popularity only increases after his final appearance, where he takes off his hood to reveal that David McCallum plays him and explain that he survived the Big Death as an adult by being The Immune.
- Sister Hannah, who appears in the last two episodes, is pretty interesting for running an Orphanage of Love and for being the first woman in the series who survived the Big Death as an adult outside of the Valhalla Sector.
- Sheila, the approachable but pragmatic settlement leader from "Crossing Jordan" who is also the first notable African-American woman to be in charge of a town since Theo, back in the pilot.
@ Characters Halloween III
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: When enforcers for the Corrupt Corporate Executive who he was badmouthing and talking about ruining show up, Starker desperately pleads he was just kidding. His killers aren’t mollified.
- Creepy Gas-Station Attendant: He is a mustached man who is introduced calmly reading a magazine inside an empty service station in an isolated part of town, ignoring a thunderstorm. However, he turns out to be the biggest Nice Guy in the movie, and when a Pursued Protagonist comes to his doorstep, Walter takes the man to the hospital.
- Deadpan Snarker: She likes to make jokes while commenting on serious plot developments.
- Released to Elsewhere: After she dies from activating a booby-trapped mask, Cochran has her body taken away and claims that she was injured in an accident and has been taken to a hospital in another town.
- Creepy Gas-Station Attendant: Downplayed with One-Shot Character Sanchez, a talkative, Perma-Stubble-sporting, baseball bat-wielding man with a harsh smile who owns the last gas station in town with any gas left in it. His rough appearance is only because everyone left in the city has to be tough, and he is a warm-hearted ally of Batgirl.
- Black Hills Blood Hunt: Tiny is the burliest of the outlaws, but is also the least violent of the group. Between getting out of jail and returning to the outlaw lifestyle, he gets a job as a piano player, gives his piano a name, and is very protective of it. In his final scene, he also admits that he spent the book hoping to talk his partners out of killing their hostages like they planned.
- Females Are More Innocent: While all of the five women in the apartment are complicit in the cannibalism, only one of them actively joins the four men trying to harm Louison in the climax while two others help save him.
- Men of Sherwood: The troglodytes are a bunch of identically dressed men who put themselves in danger helping the protagonists avoid being killed by some dangerous people in the climax (although their bumbling nature keeps them from providing that much help), and only one of them dies.
- Pet the Dog: The old man who eats the snails and frogs he raises (apparently due to refusing to join in the cannibalism) releases his remaining pets/potential eats after the butcher's downfall.

For the Cuphead Awesome Music Page.
- Honeycomb Herald
is a gently fast-paced tune perfect for the "climbing" nature of the level. There's also a little hint of royalty worth mentioning, perfect for the queen bee herself.
Black-and-White Morality: The Indian Empire is the Good, as they are meritocratic as well as less war oriented than even the Reich. The Union of India is The Evil, as they are actively trying to take over all of India and trying to overturn their area, including the workers they claim to protect, whether the people of India want them to take over or not.

Good Versus Good: In the Feud Episode, most of the three Friedrichs' story during the Apocalypse arc of Part 2 revolves around a decades-long feud between Friedrich von Hohenzollern and Friedrich von Habsburg, which is so old neither of them remembers why exactly they started feuding to begin with. By the end of the Apocalypse, they have finally agreed to abandon the feud. Both are unambiguously good, as they are both working to stop demons when they aren't feuding, as well as not having any real area where they are grayed out.
