Top 10 Most Hated Words on the Internet
After this, I have to write a blog about a webinar covering wikis
Friday, June 22, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Aren't buzzwords fun? They tend to take on a life of their own, especially in the tech world, and somehow work their way into regular everyday language. How many people do you know that are familiar with the term "Blog" and are comfortable using it in a regular conversation? However, despite their widespread use, sometimes they can be quite annoying. I personally feel like punching someone when they seriously use the term "Blogosphere".
Turns out I'm not the only one who hates that word. UK polling company YouGov recently conducted a poll of Internet users asking them for their most hated web terms. At the top of the list is the word "Folksonomy" (a web classification system) and closely followed by:
- Blogosphere
- Blog
- Netiquitte
- Blook
- Webinar
- Vlog
- Social Networking
- Cookie
- Wiki
What are you're most-annoying web terms?

Why? Because I have to endure hearing that term every day in Battlefield 2142. This term has been overly used carelessly by so many people. Ugh.

And I'm frequently annoyed by the use of "your" when it should be "you're".
Definately is another...should be 'definitely'

Umm, let's see! Yeah, that'd be the obtrusive & invasive advertising in most everything Google touches, Google's ideas to dominate the internet and eventually the world...oh, and one day, when Google succeeds in its hostile takeover of NASA, the universe.
Was that the one where Brer Rabbit put Brer Fox's tail in the campfire while he was asleep, and thereafter he was known as firefox??
