Well, that was an entirely unnecessary and lengthy correction to a mistake that was A) a typo I didn't notice from using swipe on my phone keyboard, not a misunderstanding on grammar, and B) not an error that rendered my comment confusing or indecipherable requiring your clarification. But thank you for your (air quotes) help. I really hope that you're a bot, not a person this annoying or one who writes that way.

I'm about 50/50 on grammar errors. They bother me either way, but sometimes I feel the need to correct them and try to explain why. Today I seem to have worded it in a way that's rubbed people the wrong way. It has gone better. You win some, you lose some. And yes I know I sound like an LLM. I used to not be able to communicate my ideas at all (flashback to not being able to string a 500 word essay together at school) but then I got a job working technical support and I had to figure out a way of getting my ideas and explanations across. And this is now how I communicate, for better or worse. Unfortunately, LLMs learned how to communicate in a not dissimilar way. And so we sound alike.
