I now have a visceral reaction to being told that I'm ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!, for example. It seemed an innocuous phrase before -- rather like em dashes -- but has now become grating and meaningless. Robotic and no longer human.
I'm launching a new service to tell people that they are absolutely, 100% wrong. That what they are considering is a terrible idea, has been done before, and will never work.
Possibly I can outsource the work to HN comments :)
This sounds like a terrible idea that has been done before and will never work.
BrandonM as a Service?
After the reply to his infamous comment¹, BrandonM responded with “You are correct”.

¹ Which people really should read in full and consider all the context. https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=27068148
Yeah BrandonM got unfairly maligned but it's still funny.
You're exactly right, this really gets to the heart of the issue and demonstrates that you're already thinking like a linguist.
