Also, if you would take the time to click my profile, you would see that I'm a native speaker of English, and there is no need for you to tag this as "needs native check." It's a good idea not to try to correct native speakers on their grammar unless you are a native speaker yourself, and instead to ask them what it means.

Fancy to see this represented for diversity, as hilarious as it is. The tag could go, I think.
