Insisting on flaunting English spelling rules (by not starting a sentence with a capital letter) in a think piece is a dead giveaway that the author thinks too highly of themselves, and results in me automatically discounting whatever they're saying.
If I (and billions others) can be bothered to learn your damn language so we can all communicate, do us a service and actually use it properly, FFS.
> Insisting on flaunting English spelling rules...
To flaunt:
> display (something) ostentatiously, especially in order to provoke envy or admiration or to show defiance.
To flout:
> openly disregard (a rule, law, or convention).
(I'm also a non-native speaker)
I was wondering if it was a way to 'flaunt' his avoidance of LLMs. Could be in future genuine human conversation will be so rare that we will seize upon mistakes and typos like finding a shiny jewel in mud.
(But then I saw he used the formation - 'Honestly?' which made me think he WAS using LLMs!)
Way to flaunt that in his face!
there's no official authority on what constitutes "proper english". it is a cultural convention, and conventions change over time.
Well his name is Ethan so…
