Guess I started hearing about "zenzen+positive" about 10 years ago, but
I can't remember whether the (native) speaker was male or female. Don't
think I'll ever feel comfortable hearing it, let alone say it. Also
still write 居る instead of いる. Every time I hear "zenzen tanoshii" or
some equivalent my beard grows greyer.
