I'm so sick of this "writing style".
Can you help me there. This writting style is mostly me (an non-native) writting. And a fair lot of languagetool fixing my grammar mistakes.
Maybe you can point some of the issues, maybe it's how I express myself, or something else. Also thanks for reading the text.
I’m native English speaking and it sounded fine. I didn’t recognize any “style” that would be stereotypical of anything. It read like an engineering blog post.
Yeah that's exactly what it sounds like.
it's a grammar checker, it doesn't matter if it's based on markov chains, AI, or good vibes. It'll fix grammar, not writing style.
Self hosted, doesn’t include the AI bulshiting.
I didn't say anything about bullshitting, I said I'm sick of the writing style.
you'll have to be more specific
You complain about the ai essay style, and pointed to the language tool, I told you that I self host, so doesn’t include this part of it. (The ai bulshiting)
Either way, feels like you didn’t like my “writing” in a general sense… I imagined it was some deeper thought on it. Either way thanks for the reading.
