Actually, this makes a lot more sense than "addictive".
"It's really annoying".
"It's really irritating".
"It's really frustrating".
"It's really fascinating".
Sure, it's a bit suggestive that a very derivative suffix should be more active, but the alternative is apparently a bit more frequent, making "addicting" a very good candidate for a new word in this context :p |

If only trends like this had the slightest thing to do with English language use. |

Actually, analogies like those are part of all languages :conf:
Where do you think that word came from? |
