@noodlemaz@mstdn.games @zoy@merveilles.town Unless they are Ezra 'make it new' Pound, copy editors conventionalise writing according to implicit house styles and explicit style guides. They make writing more accessible by doing it. If someone isn't writing in a context where they have access to a copy editor, an LLM can assist. But apparently we'd be better off shaming those writers while simultaneously telling them to be proud of their flaws.
