One of the examples recently added to the Halloween Costume Characterization thread shows a poor grasp of English. It was posted by Aukefi. Quoted in full:
"Zigzagged in Trick R Treat, in which it's a recurring motif that one's costume hints at their personality, like a girl wearing a witch costume being knowledgeable of the traditions and superstitions of Halloween, but sometimes they're inverted, examples include a young woman dressed as Little Red Riding Hood turning out to be a werewolf, a girl dressed as an angel turning out to be a massive Jerkass."
It's one big run-on sentence and not well expressed. A quick look at some of their other edits suggest similar issues. They may need to be sent to the Get Help With English forum for a brush-up.
I've expressed concern with the example being added in unedited by the trope sponsor and said they can't launch until it's fixed. I'm also not inclined to edit it myself given that the trope sponsor seems reluctant to include the earlier edits I've suggested.
