Seems like they are stolen from TikTok channel @loewhaley... or the other way around.

Yes, these are hers, minus the “moist” jokes. They do credit her at the bottom of the page at least.

https://www.tiktok.com/@loewhaley

Yes, I have mentioned the credits on both the website and on the project's README (https://github.com/AkashRajpurohit/howtoprofessionallysay/#c...)

Yes, that’s what I said lol.

I somehow feel these credits are not prominent enough.

For people not familiar with her content, take a look e.g. here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CcDPE1MOIBT/

This project is not just inspired by her work, but takes her jokes verbatim in written format. I you quote people, you're supposed to use quotation marks.

Of course if this is a collaboration, things are different, but it's not clear that it is.

I understand where you're coming from, this is not a collaboration but as you mentioned, the content is presented in written format which is a bit more easily searchable.

These are just some phrases and not "quoting people's thoughts", I did not consider adding quotation marks to each phrase.

I have added relevant credits every place possible (on web as well as code repo). I'll be happy to make the intent more clear if you have any ideas on how you would feel it can be best represented.

I would strongly suggest crediting her at the top of the page, before the quotes.

Edit: And state your intentions, i.e. making the content searchable.

Agree with you, I have added the credits on the top section as well. As far as it goes about stating my intentions about making the content searchable, I feel that the input box for search pretty much conveys that, so I won't be explicitly mentioning this in writing (not at least on the website). Thank you for your suggestions.
