Evidently a Dutch-speaking author
Typical Dutch errors: "might" for "may" (Dutch-speakers tend to think "may" means the same as their own verb "mogen" = "be allowed to", and therefore avoid using it in English - "might" suggests a much smaller likelihood, as in "it might rain, but I don't expect it will", whereas "may" suggests a serious possibility, as in "it may rain, so we'd better take our umbrellas"); "celebrities, which" (they also fail to distinguish between the relative pronouns "which", for inanimate subjects such as "TV programmes", and "who", for animate ones such as "celebrities"). As so often, I wish non-natives would have their English checked by a native before posting articles on Wikipedia. This is a particularly common error among native Dutch-speakers, who often grow up thinking (wrongly) that their English is faultless. I've corrected both errors (I'm a native-speaking English translator).84.243.236.9 (talk) 15:29, 14 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
