As I said before, tagging of terms is one thing, but when you get to
changing around grammar and word order, that is full-fledged machine
translation and it won't work, no matter how many times you attack me
personally.

Marking linguistic patterns has been tried before. It takes a lot of
effort and doesn't produce satisfactory results. And I believe the
word is "dialectal".
Why have one Wikipedia and write two sentences separately tagged in
the same article? That makes no sense. It's more trouble for
everybody.
Lot's of sensible things make no sense to you Mark, so I am not
surprised.
More trouble? Less trouble than forking. And less trouble for readers
who will be presented with information which is consistent in spelling
and diction to their dialect.
And it is the readers who would find this the most useful, since it
would make wikis with as large an editor base as possible.
