“Invariably” is an uncommon word to be honest. Also “nature” in this context is uncommon as well. Kind of archaic. It’s pompous because it uses a whole bunch of words to say nothing. Use of the active voice instead of passive voice would have helped as well. Add in unnecessary words such as ”ergo”, a frilly web font, and people assume the author just wants to show off.

Yeah--compare an alternate phrasing here, like "I watch and give a lot of presentations at work."
Thanks! https://github.com/ojilles/jilles.net/commit/fe6010fb208905e...

(I do hope I can clear the Google Translate bar of quality. Should have edited before publishing! And taken more of my own advice.)
