It's nice that a computer doesn't judge you or care either way if you make an error. Personally, I don't want it to pretend to care.
Yeah, me neither. I don't think I'm quite proposing "a computer that pretends to care" as much as "a language where you can be polite"

having a way to be polite to the computer vs having the computer be polite to you is such an interesting distinction to think about!
