I've said it so many times before: do not localise or translate your content by throwing it into a LLM/MT without editing. @Microsoft @Xbox are still at it.
This is extremely poor. Especially as it likely just went from en-US to en-GB.

I think the difference between "picky bits" and the others is you can use a lot of these in an ironic fun way without being serious but even M&S uses "picky bits". I hate the phrase.
I would say "Maccies" but never "Maccy Ds"
While The Telegraph has deemed 'picky bits' "the most revolting phrase in the English language", more Britons have a positive view of the term (43%) than a negative one (25%), with 31% neutral

Just tried Gemini in Workspace to look for an email.
It's fucking awful. Not even rough around the edges. It's somehow a 0/10 in usefulness.
Not only is the headline wrong but the first part of the article is completely wrong. The last part of the article tells you that everything else is incorrect. It's not Gromit's voice. Journalism is dead. Can't even report on Gromit correctly.
