> sequitur

I love the malapropisms on hn because it always reeks of "I'm trying so hard to sound smart" lol. FYI non-sequitur doesn't mean "non-sequential" it means "illogical" (and thus sequitur doesn't mean "in sequence"). Also both of words these are nouns not adjectives.

Is this a performance art where you do the thing you accuse? "malapropism" is a five dollar word if "sequitur" is. The use tracks with the Latin or English definitions, what does any of this have to do with sequential? I imply the article is probably not simple AI slop because it follows official documentation. Add "a" in front of it if your worth is determined by neckbearding a borrowed verb that can only noun in the lease.
