# AI-favored vocabulary (English)

Phrases that AI assistants reach for far more often than human writers, but
which the 28-pattern catalog does not already enumerate. These extend the
language/content/style packs without overlapping them.

The catalog already lists 30 vocabulary words in `en-language.md` Pattern 7
(delve, tapestry, multifaceted, leverage, etc.) and the promotional/emphasis
adjectives in `en-content.md` Patterns 1 and 4. This lexicon adds words and
phrases beyond those — modal scaffolding, register tells, and corporate
abstractions that the catalog has not yet named.

Match policy:
- Strict matches use case-insensitive whole-word match
- Multi-word phrases use case-insensitive substring match
- A trailing `s` or `ing` form counts as the same entry; do not double-count

## Notes on each entry (why AI-favored)

Single words above cluster around three habits the catalog under-covers:
modal scaffolding ("empower", "enable", "harness", "unlock"), abstraction
nouns AI defaults to over concrete ones ("ecosystem", "workflow", "toolkit",
"framework", "modalities", "dimensions"), and self-flattering quality
adjectives ("meaningful", "impactful", "thoughtful", "compelling"). None
duplicate `en-language.md` Pattern 7's word list — they extend it.

Calibration drop list (v3.7 eval, see core/stylometry.md §16):
"intersection", "principles", "mindset", "iterative", "responsible",
"methodologies", "redefine", "accessible", "equitable", "one of the most",
"in conjunction with", "the power of" — fired more on Wikipedia/HC3 human
than on HC3 ChatGPT. Do not re-add without re-running the eval.

The phrases above are templated openers and closers AI uses to package
ordinary content as significant: "in today's [adjective] world", "the
ever-evolving landscape of X", "unlock the potential of Y", "play a crucial
role in Z". A single hit is forgivable; density is the signal — that is
what the density-per-1000-tokens threshold measures.

Adding entries: prefer phrases AI uses to scaffold significance over
content. Verify against HC3 ChatGPT samples before shipping. If a phrase
also fires in HC3 human at similar rate, drop it.
