• Conversational openers and closers.
• Fake urgency, rewards, penalties, challenges, and fictional credentials.

• Repeated conclusions, transitions, and restated headings.
• Self-evident comments that repeat code.
• Vague claims such as "experts say" without a source.
• Inflated words when a plain word is accurate.
