This site is not responsible for any misunderstanding.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?
SPAM!!!!!! and 403, among others…
What about DUPE?
when people actually speak the word “lol”

And no, I’m not affiliated with the site, just a fan of the cartoon.
I too don’t like the word blog. I think it just sounds comical and juvenile. I think we have myspace to partially blame for that.
I think there are some great writers out there that blog but its almost discrediting to them when they or someone else refers to their writing as a “blog”. It’s like a fad word. If that makes sense.
lol would have to be the worst word ever
When did it actually become a word?
hmmm I have a personal list of rather odd ones

LOL used as a verb, really, i’ve seen it written a lot of times, specially on comments.
“I think we have myspace to partially blame for that.”

This is not an exact word, but I blame the Internet for the increase in confusion with the words your and you’re.
