Edit - English Language & Usage Stack Exchange

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

I don't know why people here like to give down votes to the others. Everyone here mades effort searching for the possible answers to help the others get benefit from them and find the answer they look for.

It's part of the way the site works - people vote based on whether they think an answer is useful in the context of the question. Out of the ones currently posted on this question, though, I like your answer best and have given it a +1.
