Vanilla Plus Writing Purity Patch

The only fact about grammar, is that grammar is subjective. Get 10 English teachers in a room with some commas and you'll get 100 different variations on the same sentence, each justifiably correct. There are many different style guides that give different answers for different aspects of grammar. Instead of trying to shoehorn Bethesda's writing into one style or another, I've tried to keep a very vanilla feel.

I made this patch for my personal use, to preserve Bethesda's style and adjust lines to match where they did not already, when a line has been changed by another mod in my load order. If you're having the same issues, you may find this useful, too. My aim is eventually to expand this into more of the vanilla dialog to make it fully consistent.

For a bit of a preview, here are the rules I'm following so far:

[]Capitalization is at its heart, cultural. For this reason, I'm preserving/making consistent any nouns which Bethesda overwhelmingly capitalizes. Examples include: Jarl, Aedra, Daedra, and Dremora. Also included are titles important to specific groups. High King, and Shield-Brother are examples of this.

[]Other nouns will be capitalized when they clearly refer to a specific thing or group. Examples include: Apprentices (at the College of Winterhold), College (of Winterhold), and Mages (of Winterhold). (Winterhold had a lot of these, ok?) This also includes familial names like the line "Yes, Mother." and "I told my mother, that I would."

[]"The" or "the" before a place name. My personal style is to keep the lowercase as much as possible. If there's more than one Bethesda example of uppercase that isn't clearly something like the title of a place on the map, I'll change it to uppercase.

[]Commas should be used before a name or title at the end of a sentence. A classical example of this would be "Let's eat, Grandma!" (eating with your grandmother), and "Let's eat Grandma!" ( if you're a cultist of Namira you should probably use this one).

[]", too" at the end of a sentence. This is extremely subjective. But, as Bethesda has extremely consistently used the comma, I opted to preserve it and add it in when it was missing.

[]Oxford commas are non-negotiable. Luckily there aren't too many instances of this that I was able to find so far.

[]"?" or "." at the end of a sentence when it starts with something like "Why don't you...". This one is also pretty subjective. It can be taken literally, as a question, or more figuratively, as a declaration. In these cases, I've been listening to the voice line and reading the context around the line in question in order to make a determination that makes sense to me.

[].... at the end of a sentence. Today I learned that having four periods at the end of a sentence, when an ellipsis would end the sentence, can be considered correct. For now, I'm not forwarding these as I think they look weird. If there's ov
