Impact on AI assistants

The unacceptably poor writing in Microsoft documentation negatively impacts the performance of Copilot: a product I pay for. Microsoft refuses to pay for professional writing, and the results are predictable. microsoft/vscode-pull-request-github#7355 was not an altruistic act. I was trying to mitigate the effects of crappy writing on the responses I get from Copilot.

Competent writing

Until Microsoft implements basic checks to prevent incompetent writing, Microsoft should learn to recognize competent writing and graciously accept free labor from an experienced and highly trained writer.

Litmus test

  1. Can the inclusion or omission of a full stop affect the performance of machine natural language processing?
  2. If so, in which situations should one include or omit a full stop?

A writer who does not know the answers to these questions and many related questions is incapable of consistently drafting competent copy.</issue_description>

Comments on the Issue (you are @copilot in this section)

@alexr00 @hunterhogan I would recommend creating the issue before creating the PR and linking the issue in your PR In the future. The PR description did not give me an idea of why you created the PR and thus didn't give me a reason to accept the PR. @alexr00 I'm sure it depends on the project, but here issues are not considered to be confrontational.
