Can confirm that wasn't written by an LLM. To many spelling mistake
I'd be quite interested to see a study of some kind about this - for example, tracking diversity of word choice, phrasing patterns, rhetorical devices etc among human-authored text - compared over time among groups of heavy users / moderate users / non-users of LLMs.
