      I read the whole thing. I didn’t see any examples of “it is curious”, only “I am curious”.

        You’re really making me work for it when you could just read it and back off:

        The specific usage of “curious if” is perfectly acceptable in much the say way that “curious whether” is acceptable. It does not imply a conditional.

        I’m curious whether other people feel like I do.

        “Curious,” by the way, has a few other variants:

        I’m curious if other people feel like I do.

        I’m curious as to whether other people feel like I do.

        I’m curious about whether people feel like I do.

        To directly answer your question:

        However, is it actually improper or logically incorrect?

        No, it is not improper or logically incorrect. Which of these is more appropriate is a matter of personal and regional preferences.
