    You're right to point that out. ChatGPT does use that construction a lot. And the fact you noticed it? That's not just perceptive, it's ground-breaking

    this story is absolutely unremarkable except in how it managed to combine almost everything it's socially acceptable to hate brilliantly: HR, Coldplay, Cheaters, CEOs, millionaires.

    I asked a young student who the 'you' is in a poem and he said 'poets have a minature version of themselves who lives in their heart, so I think it's them'

    (extremely online voice) my OCD intrusive thoughts are troubling, terrifying, but most importantly, incredibly and exceedingly politically correct

    Saw a men's rights blog recommend men only date "feminine women with pleasing hobbies", such as poetry. Clearly author has never met a poet.

    This sort of stuff is so gross that I feel you have a duty to maliciously comply to the question and make them feel as awkward as possible. V amused by the stipulation the trauma should be recent. Sorry applications who were abused as children!!!

    Mary Shelley did not write Frankenstein. Her boyfriend, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who was obsessed with electricity, magnetism, Prometheism, etc, wrote Frankenstein, and attributed it to Mary as an act of devotion. Academics have known this for years and buried it because girl power
    Readers added context
    Mary Shelly wrote Frankenstein. The manuscripts are hand-written and Mary Shelley’s handwriting is entirely distinct to Percy’s. Percy Shelley contributed to editing the manuscripts, but did not craft the body of the work. academic.oup.com/dsh/article/38… youtu.be/B8RyQFsYiy0?si… openculture.com/2013/11/manusc… newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
