Alright, let me try to put this politely.

We, as a wiki (ignoring the community part), need to have our information be as accurate and clear as possible, in order to be accesible to a wider range of people. This means accurate grammar, and american english (AKA simplified english) to make it easier for non-native speakers to read.

Regardless of the reasons for why you have trouble with grammar and spelling, it makes it harder for people (like myself, via dyslexia) who have trouble even with properly formatted english.

The accusation that we lack empathy is also patently false; we do care, about people and about the contents of the wiki. The reason we are so touchy about the grammar is, in fact, BECAUSE we care. We want people to be able to read the articles; even if they have disabilities.

We write transcripts for people who want to enjoy the show but cannot hear or see it properly.

We keep articles clean, comprehensive, and readable in simple english for people who struggle to read. Specifically, so people like yourself who do struggle with learning.

I'm sorry if you feel like we are attacking you personally, but the simple fact of the matter is it's not just about you, or your disability.

It's about everyone in the community, not just on the wiki but across the fandom, being able to access the information we provide here.
