You shouldn't care about presentation but others will.

I think an llm approach could be good. You make suggestions in however insane language and it converts the format to something boring and mundane accepted by all clients.

Some people are to brief, some elaborate more than necessary.

Says who? Having good grammar is a signal that the person cares enough. I am surprised more forums do not use this signal.

milton h. erickson developed conversational hypnosis to bypass the conscious mind. This is of course a great accomplishment in the field.

It also had me completely convinced that one should only listen to what is said rather than how.

So, (lol) with me you score extra points if you properly em dash but not the kind of points one would want.
