There's someone in my fandom with a somewhat popular fic who very clearly picks a lot of their words from a thesaurus without knowing what they actually mean. I was constantly reading words that did not mean what they thought it meant in the context of their sentence. I thought it was really obnoxious.

At least the most kudos'd fic in the fandom is actually quite good, but the quality declines sharply after that.

I once saw someone do that on a term paper.

They had been warned not to plagiarize and to put things in their own words. Clearly, they felt copying from other sources and then using a thesaurus to change a bunch of words counted as "putting it in your own words." Their choices of replacement words mostly didn't work in context and the result was nonsensical and hilarious. I was more disappointed that they didn't understand what all those words really mean than I was about the plagiarism.

Yeah, I get that. It's sorta amazing how many fic writers seem like they've never read an actual book in their lives.

I can't even tell you how many people in my fandom (for a game/anime) cant even do the most basic formatting. I saw one person literally use bulletpoints for every sentence that wasn't dialogue.
