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.

Pretty sure Iโm right about:
- RFC 3339 dates
- ISO 216 paper sizes
- Fahrenheit weather temperatures
- Dot-grid paper
- End-to-end encryption
- Software engineering being about collaboration costs
Less confident about the rest.
