Yes! The reflexive “must be LLM generated” is becoming ridiculous. Anything that includes proper punctuation and, god forbid, em dashes which I’ve used all my life must be suspect. The “it’s not x, it’s y” construction predates LLMs. I don’t recall ever sending a text without making sure it contained no errors, and yes, many have included infrequently used vocabulary.

I know, right?

I've been trying to write properly, clearly, and with the most expressive words I can come up with for many decades. I try to punctuate well, and to use functional formatting that I hope helps to effectively convey whatever it is that I'm about. I try to improve as time goes on.

And I do this because if I'm going to bother with writing something for others to read, then I want my intended meaning to be easily-understood.

But increasingly, the instances where I manage to not screw any of that up too terribly result in a snarky and insulting retort in return.

And that kind of response is just not useful to anyone. I mean: What would people presume to have me do, instead? Become less-literate? Die in a fire? (Worse?)

fuh.
