        I agree - there’s some large accesibility-like issues with communication, which causes issues for people where it isn’t their first language, the neurodiverse, or in safety critical applications. The /s is a fine early example of that.

        That said, if everyone stuck to basic facts and focussed on clarity rather than content, the world would be a mega boring place.
