The worst is when someone starts a comment with "False."
Like, do you really want to model yourself after Dwight Schrute?

The number of times I see "methinks" and "many a time" and "good sir" from people is ridiculous.
I'm not sure I understand what's so ridiculous. What difference does it make how often people might use those expressions, and is there any relation to the point OP was making?
Personally my take on those expressions is that someone's in a certain mood when they use them. A whimsical mood, maybe. Maybe next time they'll speak more plainly, or wherever the mood happens to take them. Point is, I'm not seeing the problem.

Currently I'm really hating when a post starts with "ding ding ding." Just because you agree with one post doesn't mean that you are the sole person who can arbitrate the truth.

“Whilst” is shit being poured directly into my eyeballs whenever I read it. Not sure why. I immediately know the person posting or commenting is a dildozer.

I use methinks many a time in normal conversation! Never "good sir" though...

"Fortnight" is one of the worst. You aren't living in game of thrones.
