I now have a visceral reaction to being told that I'm ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!, for example. It seemed an innocuous phrase before -- rather like em dashes -- but has now become grating and meaningless. Robotic and no longer human. | ||||||||

I'm launching a new service to tell people that they are absolutely, 100% wrong. That what they are considering is a terrible idea, has been done before, and will never work. Possibly I can outsource the work to HN comments :) | ||||||||

You're exactly right, this really gets to the heart of the issue and demonstrates that you're already thinking like a linguist. |
