Yeah, Claude's writing is weird nowadays, and it uses words that are weird and non-standard in context, and its sentence structure is sometimes weird as well.
Working with it on my code, it's now frequently making weird word choices such as:
- "name(s)" as a verb (instead of "specify/specifies", etc), e.g., "...the function names the argument"
- "carries" instead of "contains"
- "verdict" instead of "result"
- "judge", instead of "validate"
Very weird. Also, in writing comments and docs, it is terse in ways that make the writing difficult to parse, like omitting mentioning what a noun refers to, e.g. abc does not accept..." instead of "The abc function does not accept..."
I've resorted to banning from using certain words, and keep asking it to rewrite its text more clearly.
