Regarding readability issues in the Manual of Style
Hello! Sorry if I'm bothering you or anything of that sort, but I couldn't help but notice a lot of grammatical and wording-related issues in the Manual of Style. I simply wanted to suggest having someone clean the article up a little bit, considering it is THE Manual of Style and it's what all users planning to edit articles have to work with.
I wanted to note a few certain issues with the article, so please bear with me:
- The actual paragraph about readability in its topic manages to score a whopping 22 points on the exact readability test, which is more than twice as much as it should be.
- The "Uses Correct Templates" part of the article is very clumsily written. Even the heading is wrong in terms of grammar. That part could probably use a rewrite.
- This isn't in terms of grammar, but I don't really like the example used for humour in the humour related section as it's pretty limited. You could take inspiration from TVTropes or elsewhere. The entire section could also be a bit longer. This is just a nitpick, so it isn't too important.
- There are a bunch of strange choices in terms of grammar that I'm not really able to list, so I'll simply list all of the sections that have any more minor issues in them: "Passive and Active Voices", "Attributing the Creator", "Showcase Videos", "Infobox" (probably the most major, considering it's an important section).
Sorry for the wall of text, but I thought it was important to note. It just seems counter-intuitive because it frankly looks like the Manual of Style isn't following itself. All due respect to the editors, though.
