I sent them a grammar notifier in the past, but never got a response.

Yeah, no, this is not on. Unless it’s part of a Self-Demonstrating Article, a quote, or otherwise appropriate, the requirement for trope and work pages is to use standard English, so that the page reads like a single person wrote them. Given most people don’t use/wouldn’t be familiar with cowpoke slang, cowpoke slang would definitely break immersion.

Given that they've been reported twice before at ATT for this issue and are still at it anyway, it doesn't seem as if they're heeding notifiers or taking advice. Very unfortunate.

Thanks. I'll close this now and (attempt to) revert their edits.
