I do also get that pretty often. Also because I've always liked using hyphens and emdashes, so I get that as well. I don't know if I'd call it "vile" to notice a common pattern like the above though.
But it does have a certain code smell sometimes, I often get it on Reddit posts as well.
- jorvi 1y agoAh, I should have perhaps formulated it better. What I meant with vile is the sensation of having put effort in to write pleasantly only to then have the effort misattributed to a machine and to be seen like a hack. It's as if you reaped a field by hand for the skill of it and to then have everyone's first remark be "well, you certainly know how to operate a combine. Now show me some real effort!"
- morleytj 1y agoAh, yeah, I understand that feeling, the sensation is very unfortunate. I feel the same!
