Might be OT, but there's something about this writing style that wears on me. It reminds me of high school essays: excessive use of formal-sounding phrasing (lots of "yet", "indeed", "it[space]is", etc), flowery language, like the author is trying too hard. In this case the repeated references to Ozymandias really ram it home (we get it, you remember a poem we all read in English class, and you even understood its themes).

Anybody else noticed this before? I see it all over the internet; it's hard to define but very distinctive
