  1. Re:Grammar Rant on Review: City of Villains · · Score: 2, Funny

    Are you people ever going to learn how to write? "allowing players to create their own superhero." No. It should be "allowing players to create their own superheroes." The plural noun "players" has to be matched with a plural noun: "superheroes". They're not all working on the same superhero. Why has fourth grade English become so damned challenging? Go ahead. Mod me down. I dare you.


    If you really want a 4th grade English lesson...

    You should always precede quotation marks with a comma. The second and third time you used them, you should have used parentheses. Also, since you're making specific corrections, it should read,"...has to be matched with the plural noun 'superheroes'." You're citing a specific replacement; the colon was unnecessary.

    You can do better. See me after class.
