> also enjoy a well-placed ellipsis, but I didn’t know how to type one… until now.
Made me look it up in my own environment. I had already set up a custom incantation for em and en dashes, although I really have no idea when to use the latter instead. Actually I never used to use em dashes, but now I do. I'd much rather deal with people who can intuit the quality of writing rather than relying on such blunt heuristics.
Yeah I personally don't give it much thought. I write what I want to write, reread what I wrote, make sure it makes sense and briefly check for errors, then submit (at least as that's how I write HN comments, other venues may require more or less process).
Admittedly sometimes I'll pass my text through an LLM to check for obvious mistakes I may have missed. But the text itself was mine.
If that makes someone think I'm a bot, then maybe it's OK that we didn't engage anyway.
