I said "let me look before guessing" to an actual human this week

I use Claude Code every day and some of its phrases have started showing up in how I talk.

The one I catch constantly: "let me look before guessing." Or "I should check this instead of assuming." That is pure Claude Code to me. It says some version of that every time before it greps through your codebase.

What gets me is that this is not vocabulary. Everyone jokes about "delve" and em dashes. This feels different. I didn't pick up a word, I picked up a reflex: don't know, go look, then answer. Claude narrates that out loud a few hundred times a day and my brain apparently filed it as a habit.

Saw the Claudish to English plugin here the other day. This is the same thing running in the other direction.
