What has happened to the English language? WHY do people insist on appending the word ‘not’ to something they say, for example, 'Gordon is really competent…NOT!'

Is this some nasty habit taken over from the Septics, just like repeated use of the word ‘like’ and ‘going forward’?

Would the death penalty be too harsh?
