All The Tropes aims to present a casual but reliable image. Please write in the third person, without using [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]] or being formal. (This is a wiki, not a classroom.)
 
Short paragraphs are good for showing a casual style. If people have to read through a [[Wall of Text]], most of them will give up partway through. "Casual" includes knowing when to give people a chance to catch their breath.
