- dasil003 14y agoThanks for saying that. I must be getting old and grumpy because that's an idiom that gets under my skin for no good reason as opposed to my prior hatred for the "fail" idiom which I am legitimately annoyed by due to its very nature as pessimistic armchair denigration.
- natrius 14y agoIf "agreed" were used instead, it'd perform the same function without being called out by people who don't like internet linguistic trends. Clearly indicating one's position in an argument is valuable, and "this" accomplishes that.
- amalag 14y agoIt is a seriously annoying internet fad/trend nowadays to put "this" in comments.
