As a fluent native speaker who has read thousands of books and sometimes reads dictionary entries for fun, a number of these definitions are actually slightly off. "Verbose," for instance, is defined as "Using more words than are needed." That's not exactly wrong, but it's kind of misleading. "Verbose" explicitly means using a large pile of words, drowning the reader in far more words than are strictly necessary. "More words than are needed" could be as limited as "used a three-word construction in a sentence where it could have been one." There are many more like this. Please, I beg all of you - don't use LLMs to generate linguistic slop that claims to be linguistic education. I weep for the world that is to come. | ||
