Grammar: "R-12 damaged the ozone layer"? It could be read as a one time event in the past. So, my proposal is: "(...) R-12 proved to be damaging to the ozone layer (...) " or "(...) R-12 proved to have a damaging effect on the ozone layer (...)"

We are getting back to normal. This is a revert of my own edit, which WAS MEANT TO TEST the response of WP:BKFIP, who claims that "all but disappeared" is better, because it conveys a nuance, understandable only to (maybe not even all) native English speakers. I have no idea what he will do, but this time I do not even care about.Tag: Reverted

Talk:Addendum
Undid. The article talk page is not a forum. If you disagree with my suggestion to replace "subsequent to" with "after", then present your ARGUMENTS, if you have any. Besides, both of your posts constitute a personal attack.Tag: Undo

Ungrammatical: Even if you wanted to use "the balance" as "the rest" or "the majority", it would be unacceptably ambiguous (even in context). The correct and natural form is "most of the people". We could also write "the majority of the people". BTW, "the people", not just "people".

Please, do not revert this nonsense TOO SOON. I want to TEST the response of
WP:BKFIP, who claims that "all but disappeared" is better, because it conveys a mysterious nuance, understandable only to native English speakers. If the vandal does not respond in several days, I will revert this edit by myself. See the talk.

List of English determiners
→Compound determiners: +"type of", "kind of", "sort of". We do not use any determiner after any of them. So, they must be compound determiners. But "PART OF", though looks similar, is NOT. By the way, the words: once, twice, thrice are neither compound, nor determiners.Tag: Reverted

Style and grammar. "everyday" is an adjective, and cannot be used as an adverb. An everyday rule-of-thumb: Use "everyday" only before a noun. My version: "(...) is crucial, and by doing it every day, he created his signature black-and-white style."

I know that rule, but I think that we should change it because links in section headings are more concise and convenient. Besides, after your revert we still have the same problem - no link to the main article. So this time I used a standard way.
