    Internet Pet Peeves :P

    Not to take a "holier than thou" approach, but this really rubs me the wrong way:

    1. Ridiculous, not Rediculous

    LOL

    Nobody really "laughs" out loud. They should just have L for laugh.

    Chain mail!

    People sending me email telling me to forward it to 10 other people or the world will come to an end.

    Totally...there should be a Snopes.com filter built into virus scanners.

    -A national gas fillup day doesnt do anything (in fact, hurts the local owner)
    -No emails can be tracked back to you to get you a certificate to buy Gap jeans or free Vista OS
    -No, thats not a pitcure of (insert latest hurricane here) approaching...its various thunderheads from the plains.
    -I know washington is full of crooks, but the email about all those crimes is not real...


    etc etc etc

    I'm calling for a moratorium on "not so much", "X say hi", "loves me some X" and "threw up in my mouth a little".

    I don't want to hug you. I don't know you!

    I enjoy LOLCats, but I know they'll have a short shelf-life and I will find them annoying soon enough. In the mean time, I'm enjoying the spin the cartoonist Ape Lad has put on it:

    Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!

    At some point everything on the internet has bugged me. But what really bugs me is how few really well-written non-fiction BOOKS are being written by very smart folks with a lot of stuff to say. I know I sound like a grandpa, but good lord, is it too much to ask that when writing a work of non-fiction, you make the work about the SUBJECT instead of YOURSELF? Man, that's the worst. I don't care about you; I care about your subject.

    Interesting subjects if you can avoid the constantly-intruding narrator.

    People who loudly and publicly proclaim that they are leaving a website because (insert reason here).
    Ironically, most return (sometimes under a clone) - however, they have achieved their original intent in getting attention.
