> You are not analysing everything you read for oddities in writing style.

I certainly do, don't you? When I read a blog post and it's full of poorly-integrated buzzwords that make it seem like it was churned out by a non-English speaker being paid very poorly per word, I stop reading and move on.

I recently read a few pages of a book someone had recommended to me and stopped reading because of the writing style.

Heck, you can read a few pages of, say, a Dan Brown novel, and based on the writing style might choose not to read it, since the style tells you a lot about the kind of book it is.
