I work so hard to break this habit since an editor told me about distinctive “feminine” traits in writing. Basically, ways women try to lessen the impact of statements, ie:
“You might like this restaurant, DeLucca’s, I heard it’s supposed to be good !” vs. “Let’s go to DeLucca’s tonight.”
Solution:
“I’m going to DeLucca’s at 8 for all you can eat pasta whether you join me or not~”
It was my copy editor’s take, not necessarily mine, though I took it to heart for a while. It had less to do with my being a chick and more related to my anxiety and depression.

TIL my natural writing style has distinctly feminine traits.
Same, though mine wasn’t always like that.

Here’s an interesting blog on it, one of many perspectives: https://debuk.wordpress.com/2016/03/06/do-women-and-men-write-differently/

I’m a book you can judge by it’s cover.
The question mark was right there.
It wasn’t a question~
Yet it would have been a straightforward one.
You’re just a little troll with your troll pants. So cute~
So, you deny “Want to go to DeLucca’s tonight?” would have been an obvious alternative?
No one needs to troll when you troll yourself.
Did you send the wrong link there, bud?
Nope.
Alright then. You have a lovely weekend.
