The eyes of the baby that was hugged to breast - Mhmm should it be like this "The eyes of the baby that were glued to its mother breasts"? 

^On this, it's eyes OF the baby who was hugged to her breast, the baby didn't look at the breasts, one part refers to the hugged baby, and the other to it's eyes separately. These things is often easily misunderstood and meaning can be changed unneccessarily, that's why I appreciate you asking about it. Also the reason I so often get angry at people changing the meanings :P. So yeah, if you want to phrase that sentence better, sure go for it, but keep the meaning intact. --[[User:Krytyk|Krytyk]] ([[User talk:Krytyk|talk]]) 22:42, 13 February 2014 (CST)

Crap sorry about the unnecessary edits in Antimagic, especially the incom thingy. I was editing based on what I usually read from other translations. For example, the original translation said income, so I am guessing the translator meant incom, which is more of used in military translation rather than intercom which can have multiple meanings. Tho that's just my experience as a reader not translatpr. And that Mystelteinn was stupid of me lol. Didnt know what I was thinking. Bookmarked them in my reader last month then was going thru the unfixed changes. [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 23:56, 26 July 2014 (CDT)

Thanks Dual Blades! Yeah has/had really confuses me, I had to keep looking up online because it often sounded 'weird' and I kept going over those lines. I've been following Antimagic so yeah read all the prev volumes - 

that Uuu thing - I guess that's a question to Krytyk and you lol - the uuu is twice - and I saw Krytyk sometimes wrote lines twice - so I was wondering if that was a duplicate. (<someone>: UUuu. President: Uuu. Takeru: Dont use that Uuu with me) Who is saying the first Uuu if the SC president is saying the 2nd Uuu? EDIT: Krytyk fixed it, yup it was duplicate :)

Grammar questions about some of the fixes you undid:
* As he took Tyrving which emitted dim light, and made a request to Lapis. 
** -> shouldn't 'As he' be followed by 'he'? 'and' sounded weird. (As he painted the wall, he drank some water vs As he painted the wall, he drink some water) 
* However it was just the opposite, in the middle of Reima's attack Takeru had regain composure. 
** -> shouldn't had (past perfect) be followed by the past participle of the verb associated with it? (Amidst the confusion, 'I had ran away' from the scene vs 'I had run away')
** 'We use the verb had and the past participle for the past perfect' [http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/verbs/past-tense/past-perfect]
* "...it seems like that girl's coming back. Although she's just a scarecrow, just how did she managed to break through so many of them." 
** -> for past tense question, shouldn't 'did' be followed by the present tense? (How did you fix it? vs How did you fixed it? Where did you go to yesterday? vs Where did you went to yesterday?)
** 'We use did to make questions with the past tense.' [https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/english-grammar/verbs/past-tense/past-simple]

Oh yeah, what do you mean by antimagic comments? Watching people fix my edits is improving my English too lol. Noone checks on my English these days people only care about my coding skills :P [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 09:27, 27 July 2014 (CDT)

Ah I see why you did that. In English double negative is for 'not' but it doesn't apply to 'had' and the following verb. That's just the way past perfect is, so every time you use had you must use the past participle of the verb instead of the present. It's not counted as double negative.

Same thing with the past tense questions. 'How did you managed' generally is not acceptable. Same thing with 'How could you do this' (not 'How could you did this') and same with 'How would you do that' (not 'How would you did that') - you cannot put a past tense because in this case it'll be a double past tense. That's the problem with English, you cannot just look word-by-word and decide which tense to use but you must read the whole sentence and decide which tense to use on each verb.

The links I gave above showed examples how are they used - just wanted to show you the reasoning behind my changes - those are stuff I learned back in primary school so it's been a while for me also, more than 15 years ago, but those rules are the iron-clad rules in English grammar that I learned first when I took English course~ (Just like basic rules in Japanese grammar) 

But as I said in my user page, you're always free to undo my changes because I'm not a native speaker of English, so there may be some rules/slangs that I'm not aware of. [[User:Acolyte|Acolyte]] ([[User talk:Acolyte|talk]]) 15:14, 27 July 2014 (CDT)
