Let’s delve into the peculiarities of this article— shall we? (/s)
A lot of people don’t know what proper English looks like because they don’t read enough books offline, and so chatbots, sounding grammatically correct or even passing a single customer service or human reading check are elevated to the status of “speaks proper English” by neophytes.
As a result, people who want to be seen as speaking _“completely proper English” _ will adopt certain habits of the chatbots (especially if they’re from a different nation or speak a foreign language and don’t understand the grammatical rules of English natively), e.g: Like the Nigerian Tech scams.
You also have the incompetent, like the UK politicians mentioned, converting “simple English to complex English” using an LLM dialect/formatting tool.
Proper English is not supposed to be capitalized and the only reason that this comment is capitalized because I am using speech to text. I fucking hate mobile keyboards.

Shit, piss, motherfucker and cock. 👍🏼
I feel attacked by some of the popular narrative here. I’ve been using em dashes for years and I don’t want to stop, but now that’s “AI” suddenly.
Hello fellow em-dash enjoyer, there are dozens of us, literally dozens! But yeah, fuck AI.
Read books, hope it corrects.
Just ignore the haters. We were first.
I’ve never used them previously, but I am now because I want to take them back!
How are “books offline” more proper English than books online, exactly? They’re the same books, no?
Fuck you, you’re exactly right.
