remove alias bad_grammar (0) -> engrish (0)
remove implication engrish (0) -> english_text (944116)
create implication broken_english (1157) -> english_text (944116)

Reason: They both cover the same thing. Would there be a situation where one should be tagged but not the other?

alias engrish -> broken_english 
alias bad_grammar -> broken_english # what do you think about making this language agnostic?

Maybe the reverse. "Engrish" generally means improper English by a Japanese speaker (Japanese having no real distinction between the l and r sounds, hence the change from English to Engrish), whereas broken_english can be used by any other speaker that can't properly form English words or phrases. It also allows for broken text/dialog in other languages, however rare that may be here.

Definitely should be reversed. This is broken english, but not at all engrish:

I would. By changing engrish to broken_english, that opens the way to have other tags like broken_spanish or broken_german. I don't see any reason to not be able to tag bad grammar in other languages like that, aside from fewer people being able to recognize it.

So suggestion on the tag tree?

broken_english ———————— ——————— english_text
                        \
bad_grammar ——alias—— broken_language
                        /
broken_[language] —————

I'd probably prefer aliasing bad_grammar to broken_language. People can have difficulty distinguishing bad grammar from bad spelling, and I wager most depictions of broken language will include bad grammar, making it largely redundant.

Followup BUR was already made and approved as forum #458126. bad_grammar doesn't need to be aliased to broken_english though, because it's not as though we exclusively host English-language media even if that's our preference.
