A poster suggested putting up a fence on the boarder line on the drive.

Do some people think that every unfamiliar word or expression is simply made up of a very small number of common words cobbled together?

"Irate" must be "high rate"; "hierarchy" must be "higher archy"; I haven't heard of Plato so it must be Pluto...

AI will make things much worse. I'm shocked by the number of posters using AI instead of using a bit of common sense or just thinking.
