This phrasing from the home page is odd:

> When I publish my next piece I will personally write you an email, with some of my thoughts on the post.

‘My next piece’? Maybe for a part of a book or a long article, but for a blog post?

The next oddity, ignoring ‘personally’, which is inappropriate for a mailing list, is ‘…with some of my thoughts on the post’; you’re going to send me a piece with some of your thoughts on the post?

I’d expect more accurate phrasing from a med student.

Edit: tone down the criticism, I wrote without much thought that some one made the site; my apologies if I came off as overly critical.

Sorry to pick apart your sentences, I wrote as if I was picking apart something computer generated, without a human in the loop.

Haha, no worries! You were right to call it out.

This is common phrasing, even for blogs.

None of the other phrasing is out of place, either.

I think you're mistaking different phrasing preferences for LLM use.
