      my writing style in Hebrew and English is so weird.
      in Czech too but there it's understandable. in Hebrew and English it's entirely my fault (/positive)

        @Yuvalne I've always loved stylizing what I say/write just a bit. It's fun to play with language and occasionally sound a little stilted or unusual.

          @reillypascal i definitely have my own idiosyncracies in language. a few months ago i joked that once i write a book a lot of the editor's job is gonna be replacing the words "כי הרי" with synonyms to avoid repetition, an attached the following image as evidence.
          and in texts with section titles i use them quite convesationally, the following is the most extreme example but i always do it to a lesser extent:
