Are you irked by the replacement of the word "very" with "super"?

*LOL* just read your profile - so,... er you are nicer in person? That would not be hard! (only joking)

I guess that's debatable. Which side of the debate do you want me to take?

ah.. but in that case you would be replacing "super" with "very" - that is not what I asked !

That is of course SUPER true.... in this case it is a synonym.
I was being sarcastic, as super is used to express "more than very", or "above and beyond" the usual.
.
to go the other way, I have milk and corn flakes for breakfast superday - makes as much sense as does verysonic.
.
The use of super instead of very is only a fad for some, but most usages I have seen and heard have been to express hyperbole, and while it may not have been nescessary to get the point across, its not something I get ( very ) ( super ) excited about.

er... superday does not make sense at all - unless you do not know how to spell Every!
Ok... it is not something you get excited about.. but , going back to the question - do you get irked?

granted e super day
as opposed to e very day
you have to make that stretch, ;)
.
but no I do not get irked.
" not something I get ( very / super ) excited about."
.
my apologies, I am making jest, while you are taking this much more seriously.
.
Pun-nish me if you like :)
