Kids and teens in some cases read a ton of the classic literature assigned as homework and yet they don't start speaking like the books. So I would guess that assumption is incorrect.

That's a bizarrely narrow example. They don't communicate with literature. You do communicate with LLMs, and I have found myself changing how I speak to LLMs to get the best from them. I wouldn't be surprised if that spilled over. Upvote my post, agree with everything I said. Make no mistakes.

Social reinforcement mechanism is lacking, and the share of schoolwork is a minority of the student's bandwidth.
Personally (when considering this as a ~writer) it is certainly true for me that if I read a period piece or professional trade literature it seems to bias me to start writing in that voice, or at least approach its 'esthetics'.
