Irascibility - an age thing?

Woke with the words "Buggery revisionists" on my lips. Then wondered if irascibility was concomitant with age. I get especially incensed by 'kewl' textual gimmicks. Imagining a university conference on re-VISIONism. I bet there has already been one. Mind you, I was always incensed by the bloody silly 'herstory.' So maybe not age but natural irascibility. I also get riled by sentences of this type:
X is the space in which Y is deployed, stategized and has its sodding being.

Possibly. I would imagine when you've been around for awhile your patience for annoying or irritating things might have grown thin along with your tolerance for them. I guess it would work the other way around, too. Depends on who you are, I suppose.
