Opinions on Grammar
In general, AlatarTheBlue tries to stay out of grammatical editing wars. If you change their contributions or reject grammatical edits, that's fine. They will edit the following grammatical errors when they find them:
 * 'Comprised of' vs 'composed of'
 * 'Irregardless' (they consider this to be fine in speech, not being a language prescriptivist, but not appropriate for formal writing. The sole exception is obviously when it is in a quote.)
 * Apostrophe S: particularly regarding the fact that all names ending in s (Miles, Charles, Lewis) have an apostrophe s, not an apostrophe, added to the end (and thus become Miles's, Charles's, and Lewis's) with a few historical exceptions (Jesus being the main one, as well as other biblical figures).
 * The Oxford comma is the glory of man.
