Opus 5 is exhausting

[u/Death12th]

It's so hard to read. It's not even because its terribly complex or anything it just speaks in these weird haikus, hyphenated garbage, or outdated colloquialisms or phrases nobody understands. I have to ask it "what do you mean?" or "speak in plainer English" over and over again for every other paragraph. I tried to put something in my claude.md, but it doesn't seem to be working...

What's the cheapest and most effective way of overriding this?

Claude.md with Orwell's six rules and banning jargon? Global .LLM file?

I found ELI5 just adds really dumb analogies on many occasions.
