@Natanox @alan it's worse for me as that's the language style my narcissistic parent used before I was about to be subjected to trauma. That language over many years taught me to plan my exit from the situation to avoid severe abuse and the same patterns in a textbook was very stressful. Getting an engineering degree was very difficult when having to read this common unnecessary textbook language style.

@Natanox they used this excess wordy language in computer science textbooks and made reading even that very unenjoyable, compared to the technical books in the library, which were enjoyable to read, cover to cover, every day. Textbook language appears to be distinctive and designed to crush our spirits, especially when we come into the class and already have mastered the subject as self taught.
