Delicious article, on plenty of good sources, no copyio obvious, good illustration with a license. - I like the ALT better, as something I didn't know, while the other might be more commonplace. - Tell me: the hooks say "mushrooms are" and I like it. "mushrooms is" - as more often used in the article, sounds wrong, but perhaps isn't? - Can you avoid the repetition of "can" in the section about what you can do, at least a bit? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:47, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: I changed wording in the hook to "is" (diff). The dish itself is singular, so grammatically, this works. I'm not sure about how to reduce use of the word "can" in the article. I have used the word "may" before in articles, but "can" is actually more accurate (e.g. "may" indicates may or may not, whereas "can" simply means possibility). Ideas? Also, I removed one instance of "can", replacing it with "may", which works in this instance (diff). North America1000 22:47, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
Thank you. (ec) You must be right about grammar but it still sounds strange, "mushrooms is". Any possibility to say "a dish of sauteed mushrooms" instead? - "Can", - perhaps you can't and I can't, - not my language ;) - You might say that recipe so-and-so suggests/recommends/prescribes this and that, and you can leave some "can"s, but it's a bit repetitive. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:53, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
