Blog Tops the list of hated Internet words

Gosh, I’m feeling like I may have to start speaking a different language — much of my current vocabulary is appearing on the list.
“Blog”, “netiquette”, “cookie” and “wiki” have been voted among the most irritating words spawned by the Internet, according to the results of a poll published Thursday.
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.
“Cookie”, a file sent to a user’s computer after they visit a website, came in ninth, while “wiki”, a collaborative website edited by its readers, was tenth.
I can almost hear my grandma saying “they’re just jealous because you blog and they don’t.”
I think that’s just down right rude and far from proper netiquette!

Ya know I do hate the word Cookies, makes me either want some or means I can’t view something. UGH. lol. Yes, I do tend to use a lot of the words on the list though.
Oops… I use the ‘blog’ very often too…
