What do you do with the sole purpose of annoying people? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I love annoying my sister, girlfriend and some friends irl.

Online I tend not to, but in one subtle way I love to.

Censoring a word before posting on Lemmy. Oh how I love watching people tweak bc the u in fuck is lightly cut off. Its so funny to me how big a deal it is to so many people.

What do you do knowing it'll annoy people? Online or not?

I'd just like to thank you for writing "how big a deal" instead of the now ubiquitous "how big of a deal". That would have really annoyed me.

But the 'of' is grammatically correct

It's accepted usage, but it's kind of illogical and doesn't add anything. If you take the 'of' out of the phrases they still make perfect sense.
