I really though you were gonna choose akin because I don’t hear that one as often as 10 years ago (and I never used it I think).

I’m a non-native speaker and I use empiric and empirically at least once a week. STEM though, maybe I’m biased.

Which word is big there? empiric? akin? or is it grocery? gas? station? middle? Did they edit it out and I missed it?

It is freeing really. I used to proof read my comments, then paste in google search to check for easy to catch typos. When AI arrived, I was even putting my text through them so they are more “common tongue” and not my personal shorthands.

Now I just post it.
