Editing predispositions

I may not be considered a frequent editor here, but I think it best to inform others of my grammatical solidarities since this place aims to emulate an encyclopedia even with all the bureaucratic elements and human foibles. Clearly user boxes lend themselves to such a use.

ANAL 4This user advocates good grammar usage.

their
there
they'reThis user thinks that there are too many people who don’t know that they're worse than their own children at spelling!

your
you'reThis user thinks that if your grammar is incorrect, then you're in need of help.

to
too
twoThis user thinks that too many people have no idea how to use words that they should have learned in grade two.

than
thenThis user understands the difference between using "than" and "then."

You and MeThis user thinks that if you believe it is incorrect to use "you and me" as the object of a sentence, a little talk needs to be had by you and me...

itsThis user understands the difference between its (of it) and it's (it is or it has).

Latin Plurals: "Data is are..."

This user uses "data", "media", "memoranda", "criteria", and "agenda" as the plurals of "datum", "medium", "memorandum", "criterion", and "agendum".

whomThis user insists upon using whom wherever it is called for, and fixes the errors of whomever they see.

“,;:’This user is a punctuation stickler.

infin¦
itiveThis user chooses never to split infinitives.

;This user knows how to use a semicolon correctly.

A, B, and CThis user prefers the serial comma.

“...”!
US vs. UKThis user uses logical quotation marks. Internal punctuation leads to factual errors. It's not a style issue!

Subj	This user prefers that the subjunctive mood be used. Were this user you, he would use it.

byThe passive voice may be used by this user.

... in.Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which this user will not put.

person,
humanityThis editor writes carefully to avoid gender neutrality issues completely.
