Talk:Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

NBC News
Ann Curry appearance on Season Finale of Law & Order: SVU

Weird coding
It’s nearly impossible to edit this article on the mobile app because, in many paragraphs, any time I try to edit a particular sentence, the cursor is automatically diverted to the end of the paragraph.

What’s up with this? -  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  13:28, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Inexplicable past-prospective tense
Compare these two sentences (neither of which are in the article; they’re just condensed examples):

(1) Hargitay would become an executive producer.

(2) Hargitay became an executive producer.

Or:

(1a) Meloni would reprise his character in a 2021 spinoff.

(2a) Meloni reprised his character in a 2021 spinoff.

What am I missing? Why are these cumbersome, confusing, unnecessarily verbose, melodramatic past-prospective-tense constructions as depicted in (1) and (1a) superior in ANY manner to the (2) and (2a) examples?

Thanks for either explaining this to me or just not doing this inefficient and ambiguous clichéd thing any more.  Julietdeltalima   (talk)  13:41, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia editors doing an impression of how dumb people think smart people write isn't that big of a mystery. Predestiprestidigitation (talk) 18:25, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
