Come to think of it, I think I am primed to be extra-salty about it because of the poor grammatical quality of the docs in the Rust ecosystem, including the official Rust docs. "Can not" vs. "cannot" isn't a matter of style. They are *semantically* different, and it matters.

It's actually a *very* difficult engineering problem. I'm just frustrated by how often it is plainly incorrect, and by how often I disagree with the default settings in matters of style. But genuinely, respect to the folks behind it.

The English language grammar tools in JetBrains are really terrible, as if they were created by non-native (American) English speakers. ...oh, what's that?

I do appreciate that they exist, and I am sure the people who worked on them are really smart.

@frankconniff.bsky.social Thank you for writing it! Your creative output has given me tremendous comfort through some very difficult seasons of life. When it is your time, may you be found worthy of kitty heaven and safely gathered in to see them once more. โค๏ธ

I just got your book Cats v. Conniff. Do you still have Millie and Barney?
