I get a full on boner whenever someone uses âthuslyâ in a sentence. Such a great word.
what are your thoughts on âwhenceâ?
Itâs a big w for hence
If you suffix it with âforthâ Iâm in, you son of a bitch
Does it have to be used correctly? If not, i could thusly use it incorrectly, possibly?

I fucking love âtheretoâ and âthereinâ, such simple words that make sentences less awkward
Perchance?
I have a visceral reaction to words like elucidate, and other fluff. My wiring has to be very to the point, and technically accurate. Because of this I carve up drafts from juniors like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Most âprofessionalâ writing is just a bunch of phrases interspersed with a few chunks of information.
Iâm involved with bidding and grant proposal stuff for software and itâs 90% empty words. I draw two diagrams and a page of text, sales deletes 60% of the text, misinterprets the rest and then puffs it up to 30 pages.
It doesnât have to be like that. Sure, context is important, but parroting phrases or other crap that the client has in the RFP is bullshit. They donât want you blowing smoke up their ass, they want a technically sound product that addresses the exact issues they asked you to address. They also want you to show them how youâre going to get there, and achieve the objectives they set out.
I realize youâre on the tech side; Iâm just venting my frustrations with the corporate/PM spheres.
They let the ad guys write grants and then wonder why they donât end up getting them
Doing the Lordâs work. The longer I work in academia, the more radical I become about keeping it simple.
Itâs heartening to see comments like this. Busybody buzzwords and marketing maneuvering infiltrating real scientific study has been a hallmark of the de-intellectualisation of society for a long time, in my mind.
You guys are allowed to say novel?!
My group abuses this word and I fucking despise it. Every manuscript I see has ânovelâ in it, I call out unless it actually is displaying novelty in that context.
Iâd like to see someone hand an LLM as many abstract sections as they can possibly find, and then have it generate the most generic, meaningless, fluff piece abstract/grant proposal/possibly silicon valley startup loan application, the world has ever seen.
%0.1 improvement in accuracy
Well shit I didnât expect this to be relevant again so quickly

A bit of a more serious comment on that: knowledge is never useless. Many, maybe most, researchers agree with that. Itâs why we do what we do. Publishers and sources of funding (be they third party or governmental), however, disagree. So we have to sell them on the importance of our research this way.

Going on a tangent here: While I fully agree with the above, there is an amount of knowledge after which fact checking becomes bothersome, and some people just skip fact checking overall. One could argue that, while knowledge is never useless, unchecked knowledge might become bothersome or dangerous.
See flatearthers, scientology, etc. for extreme examples.

Depends. Whatâs your field?

This one comment of 4 words triggers me so hard that it momentarily stumped me

Condensed matter - basic research. No actual real world, independently of what the abstracts/introductions may claim.
