Why are you (consistently) follow "(a)" with "(2)"? Is this an AI thing?
- tired-turtle 2y agoI suspect to emphasize enumeration so readers don’t incorrectly parse the sentence. But the text would be even clearer had these speech patterns been omitted altogether.
- WesolyKubeczek 2y agoI'm way more irked by (2) following (a). It's (a), (b), (c), or (1), (2), (3), or (а), (б), (в), but for chrissake, don't mix the styles.
- dhosek 2y agoHey, keep complaining and I’ll give you (ⅲ), (四), (〥), (༦), (٧), (๘) and (᥏).
- WesolyKubeczek 2y agoCan't wait until you bring in the anatomical parts of Egyptian script. ;)
- refulgentis 2y agoNot in this thread yet, not talking down to you, apologies if tone comes across that way: jokes aside, noticed you're OP, and I'm very curious what the intent was here.
- littlekey 2y agoPerhaps dhosek is a fae entity or trickster spirit of some sort, and we're all better off not questioning them too closely.
- dhosek 2y agoI started doing (a)—2 in my twenties, as a joke, and now it’s ingrained in me that I have to consciously stop myself and, frankly, I’d rather not.
- refulgentis 2y agoCheers
- bowsamic 2y agoI think it’s a quirky thing
- madaxe_again 2y agoHow dare you judge someone else as quirky? This is the most antisocial thing anyone has ever done. Apologise, now.
- bowsamic 2y agoAny negativity you read into it was a projection
- bradknowles 2y agoThat’s funny, because I didn’t even notice it. In my own writing, I usually try to be very consistent, unless I am intentionally trying to make a joke or keep things light. And in those cases, I am very deliberate in my use of mixing the styles. But in reading someone else do this, I didn’t even notice.
