- you're welcome to ignore my comments; and keep in mind that anyone training language models can train them to imitate any chosen style. I tend to keep strict punctuation and grammar, and don't consciously avoid words that might have become popular in the slopocalypse; does that make me less human?
- footnotes, I use for breaking out comments that disrupt the flow of a paragraph. believe it or not, I actually think and sometimes even talk with such disorganization that one of my friends sets aside hours for any conversation with me, knowing that the time will be spent alternating between chasing tangents and reconstructing the arc of conversation. In some cases, this level of distraction might be welcome entertainment, like how some television addicts go "channel surfing" for distraction. I almost never use footnotes like an academic for "citing sources", my naive goal is that the main paragraph readably remains on one topic. as for "elevated phrases", if your problem is with my choice of words... I honestly don't know what to recommend. It obviously is sometimes a good idea to limit vocabulary to the common dialect, although it's also reasonable to tolerate some words from outside of it.
- I don't use sockpuppets and this is my actual human given name.
too much words salad. Speak plainly and simple.
