Cant wait for a man-choker that executes "I'm having costlier rice, check if glucose spike is lower than usual rice". Yes, both devices are outside my body.

I don’t understand what this means. Did you use a translate app?

I think it's perfectly legible?

man-choker would just be a choker (you know, the accessory usually for women) with some tech on it, in this case to accept a command to check with another bio-device if the glucose spike of more expensive rice is better or worse than cheap rice.

it's legible but a very confusing sentence

man-choker is not a word, and choker is a niche garment, why not "necklace" or just "wearable"?

Then it "executes" a question?

and then there's a reference to "both devices" - what devices?

You need to put together a lot of context clues and assumptions to get to: They are probably a diabetic with a glucose monitor and pump, and they want a smart device to analyse the data with natural language (but again, why a choker specifically? Wouldn't a smart watch or something make more sense?)

> or just "wearable"?

wearable where? A choker is not some niche garment. It is a well understood accessory that maybe not everyone wears, but it's not because it is not well known. Describing it as a man-choker while a made up word, get over it that's how language evolves, is very descriptive. Calling it a choker means that it will be around the neck. Wearable could be a watch, and that's not what was meant. Using the word choker explicitly tells you where it was proposed to be worn.

> and then there's a reference to "both devices" - what devices?

one is the speech device, the other the glucose monitor. separate devices, but worn on the choker which is now becoming a tool belt. But I'm guessing you'd have a problem if it was described as a tool/utility belt worn around the neck like a choker???
