I'm an English and German speaker and do it in neither. I find it contrived. There's a lot about language usage today that annoys me, like the new trend of being excited for something. You might look forward to something, and be excited about it. I realize that language evolves, so I keep my annoyance to myself. What I struggle with is the prejudice I reserve for those who brutalize a language for little else than being conformational, trendy or contrarian.

Congratulations on being eligible for your senior citizen discounts. And why yes, I'm getting off your lawn immediately. :-) But yeah, I agree. I am too, how to put it, well past my college years. And yes, I too find more and more things annoying with passing years.
