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. |

Re: Internet Pet Peeves :P
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".

Re: Internet Pet Peeves :P
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:

Re: Internet Pet Peeves :P
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.

Re: Internet Pet Peeves :P
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. |
