+===General comments on copy-editing===
-:Hmm, I was aiming for "if you're wanting" instead of "if you want", it feels more familiar. But if you think it's more standard the other way, that's fine. (And yes, I really do say "so" that much in real life) :) - [[User:Francis Tyers|Francis Tyers]] 21:08, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

-:: I am having no trouble with the present progressive, but I am thinking it sounds a bit like an Indo-Pakistani dialectal version when not being used with an action verb. I may have removed too many instances of "so", but I like to restrict the word to where there is a causal relationship with the preceding sentence. In my day job I do verbatim transcriptions of debates in the British Columbia Legislative Assembly, and I tend to see "so" used in speeches mainly as a paragraph marker.<br>&mdash; [[User:Objectivesea|Objectivesea]] 21:16, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

-::: For me, "If you're wanting" is an Irishism (e.g. [http://www.mei.ie/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=32 like here]), whereas "I am thinking"/"I am having" would be an Indo-Pakistanism. :) I tend to try and write how I speak, it's sometimes nice to hear someone's voice in their words. But I know that for second-language speakers of English it can be a problem. Btw, if you have some time, could you have a gleg at [[Starting a new language with lttoolbox]]. I wrote it today and yesterday, and it could probably do with a bit of sprucing up! - [[User:Francis Tyers|Francis Tyers]] 22:52, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
