I'll give you the 'grammar win' regarding your use of 'largely'.
However, I'm a little confused over your interpretation of my use of the phrase "that's not uncommon, these days" as a generalization. Are you saying that it's only MOSTLY true that "generalizations are not uncommon, these days"? Which hair are you splitting?

I was poking a bit of (good-natured!) fun. The claim that something is not uncommon nowadays is a generalization (in that it applies to more than just the particular instance at hand). I don't doubt that you could produce other instances supporting your claim on FR. But that's all to the good.
