Ok, I'll try to explain to this thread. I actually thought about removing the Facebook part, but I kept it in there because that is kind of how I felt and it is real. The middle-schooler tone and vocab is probably because I don't read a lot of books, and English is my 2nd language. In reply to XCSme - no I am not new to Node and my point of the post is to illustrate some of the techniques that I haven't seen published anywhere to HN and the community. My focus is quite different from what you think it is, so maybe it is my bad for bad writing skills, I'm still new to writing and learning.

Ok guys, I've elaborated a bit - tried to make the aim of the post a bit clearer, and I've removed the stuff about Facebook because I don't want to discomfort other readers. It's 5:25AM, it's been a crazy morning and I've got work tomorrow! XD

Since when is a 'middle-schooler vocabulary' a bad thing? I distinctly remember learning on hn (when the Hemingway app became popular) that simple is better for readability. https://contently.com/strategist/2015/01/28/this-surprising-reading-level-analysis-will-change-the-way-you-write/ https://contently.com/strategist/2015/01/28/this-surprising-...
