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?

    This should be a poll... "mashup" would get my vote. Its a lame attempt to seem 'cool' but in reality makes my skin crawl reading it.

    As in loose your ability spell. Most people who spell 'lose' this way prolly never learned to spell in the first place. It drives me up a wall every time I see it.

  6. Words on the Internet that irritate me by VGPowerlord · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have a completely different list of words from the Internet that irritate me.

    For example, my list starts out with "u" and "r" and continues with other words that are caused by people being too lazy to type the extra few characters that real words contain.
