Grammar fix


* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation was about subtext that leads one to believe there [[HiddenDepths is more]] ([[StepfordSmiler or less]]) to a character [[BeneathTheMask than meets the eye]]. Now it is often used to describe characters that have wildly different characterizations between adaptations or even hidden personalities one could rule out right off the bat. Another common misuse is to promote borderline {{WMG}} material, often along the lines of, "Was the villain telling the truth when he said he murdered the hero's hamster in cold blood, or did he really adopt the hamster himself because he couldn't bear to harm a living thing?"

* AgonyOfTheFeet was originally about characters hurting their feet and then hopping comedically while clutching their hurt foot. Then, it began to be used for foot injury in general, even without the hopping. The hopping part was eventually spun off into its own trope, HurtFootHop, while AgonyOfTheFeet was reworked to be about feet being hurt in general.

* AllMonksKnowKungFu has attracted examples about Shaolin monks practicing martial arts, just as they do in real life. The trope is actually about monks who probably ''shouldn't'' know martial arts but who do anyway, especially Christian (or [[AnimeCatholicism Christian-themed]]) ones.

Added DiffLines:

* AntiPoopSocking describes ''game mechanics'' by which you are discouraged from playing too long and/or rewarded for logging off. It is ''not'' a design philosophy or ethos. The mechanic can be as small as a pop-up message reminding you to take a break or as large as completely disabling EXP gain, but it does have to be something the game is ''doing''.

* The ArcherArchetype is about how bow-using characters tend to be analytical, independent, and not overly emotional. It's often misused for any archer, regardless of whether they fit the personality type. Such examples may be more fitting under TheStraightAndArrowPath (a character who wields a bow even though guns are available in the setting) or MasterArcher (an extremely skilled archer).
