Here in South Europe people mostly use Viber. Edit: I was very unaware about situation in Southern Europe as I've learned from this post... Most people in Croatia use Viber!

I dont really know. The grammar, the style, the even distribution of paragraphs. I feel like noone writes like that...

Welcome to my life lol.

I have run into this kind of thing a lot. Once, on reddit, I got accused of lying because I wrote a pretty personal story with a little style. I write more casually and get crap for not paying attention to perfect grammar and typing. I stay to bland recital of facts and now I'm boring. I tell a simple story here with no embellishments, and I'm a bot lol.

Fwiw, I have published three books in my life so far. I've done custom fiction for people, and some research and reporting freelance stuff too. I'm not saying I'm a great writer or anything, just that bots try to mimic what jabronie writers do. They get fed data from articles written by people that follow basic style guidelines, like keeping paragraphs to manageable sizes, using accessible but (hopefully) clear grammar rather than fully formal.

So it's no surprise I end up looking like a bot, fellow human.
