Mr Walker, I enjoyed reading your article. I was born and educated in Canada, and so naturally my first language is English. Still, I won’t dare annoy or anger cultural purists by calling myself a native-English speaker since I went to a francophone nursery school. I’ve been in hot water for that already in the past.
The fact that I don’t have an English name might trigger some individuals to disqualify me from rebutting a previous comment saying your English use is “exceptionally strange”. However, my academic and professional background in teaching English gives me some ability to assess accuracy in English grammar and collocation. The main point I want to make is that “exceptional” is often used on its own in a positive way: e.g. “Karl demonstrated an exceptional sense of empathy.” As an adverb, it can also be used with another descriptor: e.g. “He is also exceptionally insightful.” By the way, it is redundant to put “exceptionally” in front of “strange” if you consider something being unusual as an exception to the rule. It’s like saying “uniquely original”. Anyway, I respect and admire your empathetic and insightful contributions, even if you really are AI (wink, nudge), and look forward to reading more from you!
