> You're reading the idea of language policing as some actual thing, like people are hanging over someone watching every word they say.

I’m not sure where you got that impression. I didn’t say anything like that anywhere. You’re just making assumptions in service to what appears to be some axe grinding.

the point here being: the perception of being surveilled by "language police" on its own is either anxiety inducing or the result of an existing anxious disposition. The actual act of "language policing" is also going to induce or worsen an existing anxious disposition.
