> For example, it reminds me of the part in Snowcrash about how language variation is important to mitigate the spread and criticality of mind viruses and danger memes. I think you could totally look at modern authoritarianism through this lens, for example.

Diversity is of paramount importance - with the singular exception of diversity of thought. You must use the Newspeak of the Party, because all other language is bigoted and abusive.

> think carefully about my audience

Consider that you may not be doing this very well. Or that it is even possible to even know what your audience is (going to be). I have found the less I assume about my audience, and thus the more verbose and elaborate I am, the better the reception of my communication tends to be, on the whole. I'll save the terse and meticulous for people who I know and level with in terms of that preference.

Communication is all about adaptation. It is a dance, in that what you think is precise and clear is never going to be shared among every person you are trying to communicate with. Clearly if your manager passes your doc through an LLM, you made an error in judgement. If this upsets you (and I don't have unlimited energy for this either), you should find more likeminded, or at least sufficient numbers of likeminded people so that it doesn't take all of your time and energy away. There is after all a reason why you get along better with some than others, and communicative preference is one reasons why I think.

Sometimes I thoroughly enjoy having to stretch my mind though. I'd hate to work with only people like me (I have!).
