I hate to hear "perfect" in response to selecting mundane choices.

"How many in your party?"
"Two."
"Perfect!"
"What time?"
"Seven o'clock."
"Perfect!"

And while we're kvetching about every nit on the planet, almost every 
exclamation point looks stupid, and every parenthetic phrase says "I 
could have worded this better but don't have the time or interest".

A bit too bubbly for my taste, but no big thing.

IMO, exclamation points belong in the funny papers, in advertising
hype, and following interjections in dialogue.

What about sweeping overstatements such as "... *every* parenthetic
phrase...?" Annoying, or covered under the figurative speech license?

Nothing in this topic is a "big thing"; they're just words.

The 30 or 40 that are kvetching.

Like your kvetching illustrates:  We.

I've yet to see sentence with parentheses that wouldn't be more clear 
if one didn't embed a whole sentence within it. I'm guessing that YMV. 
Please provide the most obvious evidence.

Still, it's grammatically correct. So is the unnecessary use of "very", 
"really", "completely", "totally", "honestly" and a fleet of another 20 
or 30 words that lard most sentences.

Clumsy is a matter of opinion.

No more so that the "I" and the "that". You could easily respond "Did."
and convey the exact same information.

Either way, "I did do that" is neither awful nor wrong.

Nope, "Quite Interesting" is a UK comedy-quiz-fact show hosted by
Stephen Fry, but the name is shortened to "Qi".  ;-)

But not surprising, given that "very" is from a Latin root meaning
"true." See "verity," "verify," and related words. In my mind, "very"
and "truly" are often interchangeable, as in "very large" and "truly
large."

Yes, because we should obviously use all words with the sense they had 
2,000 years ago.

Actually, isn't the belief that "immaculate conception" refers to virgin 
birth based on just such a use?
