- EM DASH
“Do not assume that every wall should be fully grouted—or that an ungrouted wall is acceptable—based only on a material calculator.”
Unedited em-dash pair used as a parenthetical clause separator, where a human editor would likely use commas or split the sentence.
- OTHER
“A quantity estimate is not a wall design.”
Punchy aphoristic closer in the 'X is not Y' pattern that LLMs use to add emphasis.
- OTHER
“There is no universal waste percentage suitable for every masonry project.”
Over-hedged generic opener that avoids committing to a number and adds no concrete information.
- OTHER
“Standard stretchers, corners, half blocks, lintels, bond beams, and other specialty units may occupy the same modular positions but are not interchangeable.”
Long list-style enumeration with a hedged 'may' clause. It is typical of LLM rule-of-many padding.
- STOCK PHRASE
“That distinction matters because the wall is laid out using the complete nominal module”
Stock explanatory transition ('that distinction matters') that LLMs use to link paragraphs without adding information.

- EM DASH
“Step 6: Add waste once—and make it visible”
Unedited em dash used as a clause separator in a heading; a human editor would use a comma or period.
- STOCK PHRASE
“This structure is simple but powerful.”
Generic LLM praise closer that adds no information about the table it follows.
- VACUOUS TRANSITION
“That distinction matters.”
Filler sentence that announces importance instead of showing it, a common LLM paragraph pivot.
- OTHER
“A useful estimate shows more than one final number.”
Setup-then-list framing ('more than X') mimics the 'not just X' scaffold, adding fake depth before a bulleted list.
- OTHER
“A transparent estimate supports that goal better than an unexplained oversized order”
Vague, tacked-on EPA link to sustainability reads as LLM padding rather than a practical estimating point.

- EM DASH
“Area is one input to that process—not a replacement for it.”
Unedited em dash used as a clause separator for a contrastive tag; a period or comma would do.
- EM DASH
“Converting a length with an area factor—or squaring an area factor again—is a common error.”
Paired em dashes around a parenthetical, a typical LLM rhythm that an editor would replace with commas.
- OTHER
“The calculated area identifies a candidate, not a finished duct design.”
Formulaic 'X, not Y' contrast framing, repeated across the page as a closer for sections.
- OTHER
“Do not apply the centered-transition formula to every reducer.”
Repeated cautionary hedge-closer after each formula section is a templated structure typical of generated guides.
