OH FUCKING WAIT.

PS, if I'm referring to a word as an entity what form am I supposed to use? Words change their meaning. OMG SHOULD HAVE SAID THEY'RE??? lol
The point that I was trying to imply was that the subject of the adverb was implied, even if not expressly stated. You know, like all the words taken as implied in your post.

I simply don't believe people use it in that fashion (ie, shorthand for 'it is addicting me/my mum/that guy'). I think people CLAIM that after you point out what they said was wrong and look up the usage - I think that they simply use it because they honestly thing addicting = addictive because of stupid nerd websites (some of which use 'addicting' wrong IN THEIR GODDAMN NAMES).

And people who use 'addicting' this way are all stupid cunts. Coincidence?
