‘Blog’, ‘Cookie’, ‘Wiki’ Most Hated Words
According to a recent study by YouGov who questioned 2,091 adults the words “Blog”, “netiquette”, “cookie” and “wiki” have been voted among the most irritating words created by the Internet.
Topping the list of words most likely to make web users “wince, shudder or want to bang your head on the keyboard” was folksonomy, a term for a web classification system.
“Blogosphere”, the collective name for blogs or online journals, was second; “blog” itself was third; “netiquette”, or Internet etiquette, came fourth and “blook”, a book based on a blog, was fifth.
Personally I hate the word Blogosphere, sounds like a product that should have been announced in 1998. What are your least favorite words?
