I'm usually precise in my wording and choose specific words for a reason and am also sometimes annoyed by people ignoring the preciseness.

However I also sometimes cannot find the correct precise words to describe what I mean in unambiguous, but also concise words, so I sometimes choose much less precise words for lack of a better alternative. Oftentimes I denote that when I find it important, but it happens way too often to do that every time.

Also words simply aren't completely precise. A word might be perfectly fitting for what I want to say with it in a situation, but someone else understands it as something slightly different and they are not wrong about it. Words often simply do not have one exact shared meaning.

Natural language is imprecise and it is fundamentally a lossy compression function. One that uses a shared dictionary that is not identical for both encoder and decoder. You simply need some amount of error correction in encoding and decoding.

I resonate strongly with this comment chain. At this stage in life I don’t think I’ve essentially figured out how to adapt and don’t see much point in getting diagnosed. But it is interesting seeing comments that feel like I could have written them myself.

See you say that, yet I'm perpetually frustrated because so many humans communicate so fucking poorly, which AI is both making a bit better (no more word salad riddled with typos, ill-understood terms, what have you) but is also making worse (people now put even less effort into communication, which is genuinely an achievement).

I was told all through my school years that I would need to write well to be taken seriously in business, and my entire career has been rife with aging old fools overseeing me who could barely fucking type, let alone write.
