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?

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.

(I use the 'of' myself, out of habit, as I learned to speak that way.)
