Copying how others ask questions boosted my response rate

In online groups, I saw that detailed questions get more attention. Now I copy that style and my posts get helpful answers fast.

Show me examples of what details you copy, like specific phrases?

Nonsense, we control what words we use.

Have you seen those articles about how people copy turns of phrase from books they love? I read somewhere that a lot of writers unconsciously pick up words from their favorite authors. Like, someone might start using 'utterly' all the time after reading Jane Austen or something. It's funny how we don't even notice we're doing it until someone points it out. Makes me wonder what phrases I've copied without knowing.
