    The most problematic for me as a non-native has been "the" vs "nothing", i.e. when one can/should put the definite article.

    Pre-LLM I was joking that real AI is whatever can make that decision correctly 100% of times.

      How do you feel about adjective ordering rules? I always wondered what this was like from the outside.

        True. That's also a big ambiguity to me. But for some reason I never cared about it as much :/
