I'm not sure as to what English interjections are for monkey sounds, so I'll just list <barks, screams, howls, hoots, chatters, squeaks, whines, clicks, chirps, and growls> to illustrate my mental state that has driven me to the current research. This is supposed to be an addendum to my proper post in the Recovery section.

P.S. I'll bring up some cases of this infamous, hellish drivel.
1. "However, in the works of the English philosopher of the 16th century, Thomas Hobbes".
1) Hobbes is from the 17th century > thus making me grit my teeth in frustration;
2) the structure is wrong per English feel > it would rather be written "the 17th century English philosopher", not of... of...
2. "Its function is to reveal the evaluating, subjective attitude of the writer towards the thing described."
1) "Evaluating" seems to me like a disgusting word - why not say "value-judging" or "value-affirming" or whatever?
2) "of the writer" - again, this Russian "of"! It should be > "the writer's value-judging opinion".
And just to prove I'm not making it up with my RU-English moniker, look at this garbage! Just google <"emotive proper" epithet>. Does it have a single source that's not derived from the former Russian Empire? It's all 100% Russian, Ukrainian, Belorussian or Kazakh!

Yes, everyone here is Russian, kill me now... And they have the gall to call it a study of English? Apologies for the tangent.
P.P.S. Now this is schizo of me to go on yet another tangent, but look at this garbage! Back in 2023 I was absolutely distraught at the case of the "subjective participial construction" because this jumble of words I could only ever find in a single Korean (sic!) pdf - in an ocean of otherwise Russian English. I've just googled it again (via Bing and a VPN to make my browsing US-centric), and what do I find? An Academia paper by a non-Russian last name. Interesting...

...But then I take a curious, dumbfounded look at the sources at the end, and what do I see?

(Yes, this is the Ukraine. Yes, I am pro-Russian. But the difference is akin to between eating a nicely-roasted insect straight out of Klaus Schwab's kitchen, and taking a bite at a living tarantula.)

Maybe I'm just confrontational at heart? Or try to nitpick, having high standards? There seems to be a blind spot in everyone I read. I can kind of get this, I think. People have actually told me that they perceive me to be exactly like this, but I don't really see myself this way so I don't...
