To resolve
- British English or American English? Personally, I think since a majority of trolls are American and because Chris is American, we should use Americanized spellings. However, Wikipedia uses British spellings when possible. I personally find the unnecessary vowels silly but apparently Eurofags love it.
- the possessive of Chris. Strunk & White, the Modern Language Association, and The Economist style guide (at least from a very quick website) say that it's fine to say "Chris's." The Guardian and the Chicago Book of Style disagree and then there's some whole rule about using it with soft s sound versus soft s sound. Can some English major settle this?
- also, tones of articles and that sort of thing.
