Talk:Winifred Brown

Archaic usage of "became" in introductory sentence?
Can we rephrase the first sentence, "Winifred 'Win' Sawley Brown became Winifred Adams (26 November 1899 – 30 July 1984) was a British sportswoman, aviator and author.", to remove the archaic and distracting usage of "became." I'm not even sure "became" is the correct archaic form, I've only ever seen "become". To the modern reader this almost seems like a subject verb agreement issue.

Suggestion:

Winifred "Win" Sawley Brown, later Winifred Adams, (26 November 1899 – 30 July 1984) was a British sportswoman, aviator and author. UserSwamp (talk) 14:04, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
