Comment

If advanced degrees make you a good writer, I think everyone I work with (and myself) have probably been doing it wrong the whole time.

Listen, maybe I’m wrong here. But I don’t believe that you because you penned that comment eight minutes after you wrote another 4 paragraph reply, with a very similar word count, which you wrote in most eleven minutes. I’m more impressed with the lemmy.world admins for improving the time new comments take to propagate, since as recently as last week it was taking a reliable 4 minutes for them to register across the desktop interface. But hey, I might be wrong, I can’t prove this.

You are free to believe whatever you want. There are two comments posted back-to-back because I switched to a keyboard and decided to write them both while I was on the keyboard. Writing in Word, with its autocorrect features, makes producing relatively error-free prose fairly easy. Also, typing at 74 words per minute is not particularly fast—I typically type much faster than that. I find it funny that four quickly written paragraphs seem so unbelievable to you that it makes you question reality.

Regardless, I have no intention of continuing to justify how quickly I write. This conversation is pointless.

  Man… listen. You’re doubling down on the most implausible details here, even the ones I fudged in your favor (wpm), and that’s just silly. If that’s truly what a stream of consciousness looks like from you, and if microsoft word really is (despite all of human history serving as a counter example) helpful to you, then you are the Michael Phelps of internet commenting, and I suppose I commend you for that. But, again, I really doubt it.
  
  Have a good day, and I mean that sincerely, because this is a really stupid hill for me to be trying this hard to die on.
