Yeah I agree. Whenever I see it used I cringe a little bit thinking about how the other person is reading it.

Can we deprecate usage of '!ask' on IRC?
ori-l: !ask wm-bot: Hi, how can we help you? Just ask your question.
It's annoying when people ask to ask, but the people who do so do it out of insecurity or lack of experience, and so they're the last people we should be siccing our bots on.
I've used '!ask' a lot before but I'm going to stop. I hope others do the same. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
