You love language (youve always been a reader), and are prepared to defend the Oxford commas honor. You spot the typo in the fine print. Youre curious about how brands tell their stories. You see AI as a useful tool, but know a writers superpowers are discernment, good taste, and knowing what stays (and what to expunge).
