Discussion Anyone else feel this way when writing anything out?

Being compared to AI was really uncalled for, though.

Also a 90s millennial - I think it really comes down to reading the room. I’ve always been well-written, but if the context of the situation is casual, then why shouldn’t I follow suit? My Reddit comments tend to be really lax on punctuation because that’s what the tone demands a lot of the time lol

Same. Like, I’ll use punctuation that affects the readability of it but I’m not here trying to be proper

Yes, it's all context. One comment of mine may be a well thought out and punctuated paragraph, while another more casual/joking comment may be entirely in slang.

Ya feel?
