User:Dank/snippets

This is a collection of before-and-after snippets from my copyediting work at TFA. I don't include here changes that aren't likely to provoke any disagreement or discussion, because:
 * I want the list to be interesting and relevant,
 * I want to include the items that I'd like to get feedback on, and
 * automated grammar-checkers are getting better fast, and on those points that are obvious, it's not likely that the programmers will be looking for our input. They may not want our input on anything, but I'm hoping we can come up with enough data and consensus support to tempt them.
