Hello.
I'm Wai Wai.
I have been contributing to this website anonymously for years.
Finally I was tempted to joined this big family on the last day of May in 2006.

My English usage
[edit]General
[edit]- I am not a hyper-correct person. Life is already hard. Don't make it harder!
- I prefer rule simplicity to complication. Why complicate matters?
- Strict rules are stupid. What does it hurt to simplify things?
- Be flexible. Let your writing style go, let your own personality go.
- Facilitate communications, not facilitate rules and stubbornness.
Specific
[edit]- I prefer hyphen: 2-words, then 2 words, then 2words. Hyphen can visibly show the linking between 2 words and avoid possible confusion in some situations.
- I like numerical over text numbers: 2, not two. Don't you think it is easier to read numbers, especially when it grows large?
- Singular they is not good because it is still confusing. Do you mean singular or plural they? Why not simply use "it" - a perfect candidate of a simple, gender-neutral, and singular pronoun?
- Does it hurt to write childs & wifes, comparision or curiousity, breaked or more happy?
