"My $0.02"
Why do people feel the need to write this after their posts? Were you afraid it would not be clear that it was an opinion? What purpose does it serve? Why did you go to such length to write it as "My $0.02" rather than "My two cents", or just "My 2c"?
It seems to be some kind of "thing" that people do here. Is it an in-joke?

- herbertjacu 12y agoI'm not angry about it or anything. I just don't get it - is it supposed to be a joke?

- reconbot 12y agoIt's a way of being humble. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_two_cents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_two_cents the user of the phrase hopes to lessen the impact of a possibly contentious statement, showing politeness and humility.
