userbinator put it somewhat dramatically but has the point. We'd rather hear you in your own voice, even at a cost of misunderstanding your intent sometimes. I feel sure that if you're using HN in good faith—and you are, because otherwise you'd not be worrying about this—then over time it's possible to learn to lessen such misunderstanding, and only possible but well worth doing so.

>We'd rather hear you in your own voice

You can't hear my voice if I'm downvoted to oblivion.

>then over time it's possible to learn to lessen such misunderstanding

Is it possible, over time, for a person with a severed spinal cord to learn how to use stairs?

The answer to this last one may be technology! Same for autistic communication: I now have a technological assist. It's called AI. AI is my wheelchair. You might not get to hear my "voice", but you will get to hear my message.
