These don't bother me any more, the fire and rage of youth must have dimmed in me.
Has anyone complained about people saying "let that sink in" on social media after pointing out some recent development?

Well, that seems to be a thing now.

Let that sink in.

While I'm not going to say I haven't noticed it becoming a little more trendy, its kinda more interesting to me that we all talk in local dialects in Ireland and have been communicating online in the finest queens english. One of these things is a more accurate representation of reality than the other. i.e. I'm more likely to say 'aye' while typing 'yes'. Writing was originally a phonetic vessel but obviously we've gone well away from that with our prose and our livejournals and our signposts and whatnot, but in that, the documentary nature of phonetics is losing out. Anyways back to your original point, I'd agree its a little more cartoonish than accurate in this weeks/days tweet trends.

[IFF]

When on a stag in Derry, trying to get a taxi with a friend, a woman had approached us. When she heard my friends accent she was not impressed accusing him of speaking in a mock pretend Irish accent.

I don't know what she would have thought if I opened my mouth as I've been told that I sound welsh, German, polish, northern Irish, west of Ireland, Italian, polish, Austrian, continental and non-nationsl among other things.
