I guess my English texts usually are dead

A few weeks ago I was writing an email to one youtuber. I was amazed by his work, and I felt some kind of necessity to write him a few words of appreciation (also I wanted to share with the idea of my notetaking system, but that is another story).
Back in my days I was writing letters, but that was a generic exercise in the school at English classes. I never thought about it much, and I never paid enough attention to it. Little did I know that a letter in English will be the subject of my concerns in future.
I sent it, and after I copied my written text and pasted it in ChatGPT. I asked to "optimize" text or rephrase it. Just in an academic interest. Shortly: I was really disappointed.
And here I am . Hey everybody
Thanks to everyone who spends time on reading and proofreading.

I guess my English texts usually are dead


I guess my English texts are usually are dead I guess my English texts are usually dead

(1) "usually are" is okay, but "are usually" sounds more natural. (2) Not too sure what you meant by "dead" here.

I guess my English texts usually are dead I guess my English texts usually are dead

I'm not sure what you mean by "dead" here.

A few weeks ago I was writing an email to one youtuber.


A few weeks ago I was writing an email to one ya YoutTuber. A few weeks ago I was writing an email to a YouTuber.

(1) "a" is more natural than "one" here, since the emphasis is not on the number of YouTubers you wrote to, but rather the fact that you wrote to a YouTuber. (2) "YouTube" is a proper noun, so "YouTuber" should follow its capitalisation.

A few weeks ago, I was writing an email to one ya YoutTuber. A few weeks ago, I was writing an email to a YouTuber.

"one" sounds like you're emphasising it was only one.

I never thought about it much, and I never paid enough attention to it.

I was amazed by his work, and I felt some kind of necessity to write him a few words of appreciation. (aAlso, I wanted to share with him the idea of my notetaking system, but that is another story).) I was amazed by his work, and I felt some kind of necessity to write him a few words of appreciation. (Also, I wanted to share with him the idea of my notetaking system, but that is another story.)

The phrase is parentheses is a whole sentence in of itself, and should be written as such. (Yes, you can put entire sentences in parentheses.)

I was amazed by his work, and I[I] felt some kind of necessity to write him a few words of appreciation (also I wanted to share with the idea of my notetaking system, but that is another story). I was amazed by his work, and [I] felt some kind of necessity to write him a few words of appreciation (also I wanted to share the idea of my notetaking system, but that is another story).

You could not have the second "I". I think I tend to hear "felt some kind of need" - "necessity" feels slightly formal, but it's not wrong. I think "I also wanted" sounds slightly more natural. or "share the idea of my notetaking system with him" "that is another story" sounds very natural here, good job. Another thing you could say here is "but that's getting off-topic".

Back in my days I was writing letters, but that was a generic exercise in the school at English classes.


Back in my days I was writing letters, but that was a generic exercise in the school atduring English classes (in school). Back in my days I was writing letters, but that was a generic exercise during English classes (in school).

"In school" may be omitted, since "English classes" already implies that it's in school.

Back in my days I was writingrote letters, but that was as a generic exercise in the school at/formulaic/prescriptive exercise in English classes. Back in my day I wrote letters, but that was as a generic/formulaic/prescriptive exercise in English classes.

I know what you mean by "generic", I think "formulaic" or "prescriptive" might fit better.

Little did I know that a letter in English will be the subject of my concerns in future.


Little did I know that a letter in English willould be the subject of my concerns in the future. Little did I know that a letter in English would be the subject of my concern in the future.

It should be "would", and not "will", since "little did I know" is in the past tense.

Little did I know that a letter in English willould be the subject of my concerns in the future. Little did I know that a letter in English would be the subject of my concern in the future.

Or "would be a future subject of concern".

I sent it, and after I copied my written text and pasted it in ChatGPT.


I sent it, and after that I copied my written texting and pasted it into ChatGPT. I sent it, and after that I copied my writing and pasted it into ChatGPT.

(1) "Written text" is okay, but "writing" is more concise and probably more natural. (2) "in ChatGPT" is probably okay, but allow me to suggest "into ChatGPT". "In" might only suggest that you pasted the text, but "into" suggests that you pasted it and then fed it into the language model for an output.

I sent it,/the email and after Iwards [I] copied my written ing/text and pasted it in ChatGPT. I sent it/the email and afterwards [I] copied my writing/text and pasted it in ChatGPT.

I'd say "the email" here rather than "it", as it's been a little time since you mentioned it. "afterwards" sounds better to me, but I can't tell you why. I don't think "after" is wrong though. "written text" sounds clunky or "afterwards copied and pasted my writing in ChatGPT".

I asked to "optimize" text or rephrase it.


I asked it to "optimize" the text or rephrase it. I asked it to "optimize" the text or rephrase it.

I'm not 100% sure what you meant by your original sentence, but I took my best guess at it.

Just inas an academic interest. Just as an academic interest.

Shortly: I was really disappointed.


SIn shortly: I was really disappointed. In short: I was really disappointed.

"Shortly", while possible, will be interpreted in this context by most readers to mean "in a short time; soon." Using "in short" clears up any ambiguity, since "in short" has only one definition.

SIn shortly: I was really disappointed. In short: I was really disappointed.

Hey everybody Thanks to everyone who spends time on reading and proofreading.


Hey everybody . Thanks to everyone who spends time on reading and proofreading. Hey everybody. Thanks to everyone who spends time proofreading.

(1) The "on" is okay, but may be omitted. I think it sounds more natural that way. (2) The "reading" is redundant, since "proofreading" already necessitates reading.

Hey everybody . Thanks to everyone who spends time on [reading and] proofreading. Hey everybody. Thanks to everyone who spends time [reading and] proofreading.

You could skip "reading" as it's implied in "proofreading".
