    If you misuse it to convey an inflection that doesn’t contextually make sense and use it over and over again, yes, it certainly is annoying.

    You know what else is annoying? Badgering random people on the internet about using language in a way that you wouldn’t, despite the fact that it served their needs perfectly and conveyed exactly what they meant. You might even say that it’s something only “fucking idiots” who desperately need to feel smarter than others would do…

    Also, in what world is “it only conveys inflection” a meaningful criticism- inflection is a vital part of communication thats often lost when interacting with people online. It helps convey what I mean, and therefore is an important part of communicating.
