Lofty

I love plain English and despair at artifice. A couple of my recent bugbears come from the sudden guru nature of the overuse of phrases such as ‘I’ll speak to…’ or ‘I’m pointing at …’. Since when did ‘I’m going to talk about…’ become so elevated or lofty?  It’s the same with the two-sentence paragraphs and pauses in AI writing, and phrases like ‘let that sink in’…’  which come over as extraneously portentous or self-importantly solemn. As well as being quickly unoriginal.
