From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My name is Miles Bradley Huff. I live in the United States of America, and am a software developer, linguist, polyglot, and inventor. My hobbies include micronationalism [1] , conlanging [2] , battlegaming, and videogaming [3] .
Most of the edits [4] I make on Wikipedia are simple copyedits; but I once strove to go above-and-beyond with the linguistics articles, since they've given me so much. In doing so, I learned firsthand just how toxic Wikipedia's community is, and have since quit making large edits.

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? amn't This user considers amn't a perfectly logical alternative to aren’t in the first person singular. y'all This user thinks y'all serves a useful purpose as a second-person plural pronoun, and would like to see y'all use it more often. wyf-
man This user understands grammatical gender historically preceded and is independent of natural gender . fire mankind This user supports the use of gender-neutral language when it reasonably exists as an alternative to a common gendered word. se hirm ser hirmself If this user could come up with standard words to replace the singular they, them, their, and themselves/themself , they would respectively be se, hirm, ser, and hirmself. | Speakers Know Best
This user recognizes that grammar comes from humans, not from the heavens. Trust native speakers.
couldn't've This user believes that couldn't've would make a perfectly fine word. by The passive voice may be used by this user. ...in. Ending a sentence with a preposition is something that this user is okay with. which that This user typically uses "which" and "that" interchangeably. English Singulars: "The data is..."
This user recognizes that "data", "media", and "agenda" have become incorporated into English as singular nouns.
"There's" with a plural subject This user knows that "there's" with a plural subject is a pervasive grammatical error.
whom This user insists upon using whom wherever it is called for, and fixes the errors of whomever he sees. | A,B,and AandB This user uses the serial comma unless its inclusion is confusing. Chicago, Illinois This user thinks articles about large U.S. cities should follow the "City, State" format, not just "City". A sentence contains "A quoted sentence.".
