Top Irritating Words Spawned by Internet

prostoalex writes "If you're launching a new blog into the blogosphere, does the common netiquette allow you to have a separate wiki to go with a blog? If the previous sentence irritated you, you're not alone. Folksonomy, blogosphere, blog, netiquette and blook are among the most hated Internet words, Lulu Blooker Prize research found."

    I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.

    Correction: "Netiquette" is a much older term than what many seem to think, and stands for network etiquette, not Internet etiquette.
    Netiquette applies just as much to Fidonet, Bitnet, Usenet[1] and other networks.

    [1]: Usenet isn't all inside Internet. It becomes more and more so with time, but there's still nodes that use other forms of propagation, whether it's BBS gateways, Fidonet or UUCP.
