Hi Komachichuu, thanks again for all your recent help!

I just wanted to ask if you're using an automated spellchecker, such as Grammarly, for example, as I've noted some of your recent grammar edits have been a bit odd, which usually happens when using something like that!

For example, the sentence: "Not long later, Snufkin peers from behind a tree then relaxes" was changed to "Not long later, Snufkin peers from behind a tree then relax", and "Although not traditionally part of a work-basket, the Hattifattener seeds could be sown, similar to how the thread could be sewn" was changed to "Although not traditionally part of a work-basket, the Hattifattener seeds could be sown, similar to how the thread could be seen", which all seemed a bit odd to me as these weren't grammar fixes but random word substitutions that didn't make sense!

I've often encountered issues when people use automated grammar extensions when editing wikis, and though they can be helpful, sometimes they can't figure out context and substitute words randomly, so please do have an extra readthrough when doing grammar changes as otherwise it could be counterproductive if there's things that other users need to revert!

I also wanted to note that the previous admin and now myself and the people who've been helping with the Wiki have been editing in British English/English (UK), as the original Moomin content was first published in Swedish (and Finnish), and after that in British English (along with the comics being published in a London newspaper), before being translated into American English, and we tend to choose the original language format for the topic of a wiki! With the majority of pages being in British English (and some in a mixed form of English translated from Swedish or Finnish), it's easier to keep this format than going around and changing everything to American English, so please keep this in mind when editing and if using a grammar extension please change the language to English (UK)!

Thanks so much for your time!
