A, B and C | This user prefers not to use the serial comma. |
A, B, and A and B | This user prefers to use the serial comma only when its omission can be confusing. |
their there they're | This user thinks that there are too many people who don’t know that they're worse than their own children at spelling! |
by | The passive voice may be used by this user. |
We | This user refers to themselves in the majestic plural. |
to too two | This user thinks that too many people have no idea how to use words that they should have learned in grade two. |
man- kind | Regarding gender, this user prefers the vernacular, not what is politically correct. |
Ain't |
This user believes that ain't is a proper word to use in place of a contraction of a verb and a pronoun. Ain't that right? |
couldn't've | This user believes that couldn't've would make a perfectly fine word. |
This user feels that if a person cannot concisely describe what they mean without using so-called big words, then they should not be identified as being truly intelligent. |
’s | Thi's user know's that not every word that end's with s need's an apostrophe and will remove misused apostrophe's from Wikipedia with extreme prejudice. |
…in. | Ending a sentence with a preposition is something that this user is okay with. |
“…” | This user favors curly quotation marks over straight style. |

This user recognizes that linguistic change is a natural and desirable aspect of human language. |
Speakers Know Best | This user recognizes that grammar comes from humans, not from the heavens. Trust native speakers. |
This user knows that because English is a living language, grammar and syntax are not fixed. |
majority ≠ ad populum fallacy | Although this user acknowledges the logical fallacy ad populum, they do not think that it applies to human language, and recognise that the majority determines grammatical "right" and "wrong". |
Majority Usage = Correct Grammar | This user recognizes that if most people make the same grammatical "mistake", it ceases to be a mistake and becomes proper grammar, for grammar has no immutable or moral "right" or "wrong" and "correct grammar" is determined by majority usage. |
This user knows that one should not use " you" in encyclopedia articles or other formal works. |
’s | This user realises that plural nouns should not have an apostrophe while possessive words should! |
English Singulars: "The data is..." | This user recognizes that "data", "media", and "agenda" have become incorporated into English as singular nouns. |
much & many | This user understands the difference between much & many. |
which that | This user typically uses "which" and "that" interchangeably. |
This user refuses to take seriously anything written in the Comic Sans font. |
NOTE: The times I've divided the userboxes into are not universally agreed upon and so I've divided them the way I think of History. 476 AD is the traditional date of the "Fall of the Roman Empire" [1] and, in my eyes, the end of late antiquity. In 1733, John Kay invented the " Flying Shuttle," launching the Industrial Revolution in the United Kindom. [2] This is when I think of the beginning of the Modern World, at least in the West. You may want to divide things differently on your userpage. Canon Law Junkie §§§ Talk 16:29, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
