Does the word "blog" irritate you?

Interesting study by a group of British pollsters on what tech jargon Internet users think are "the most irritating words spawned by the Internet".

Here's the shortlist of annoying buzzwords that make web users "wince, shudder or want to bang your head on the keyboard":
* blog
* blogosphere
* netiquette
* cookie
* wiki
* folksonomy
* blook
* me-media
* godcast

I promise not to be offended if the word "blog" offends you. After all, you are here reading my words at your own free will.

And guess what... Many of these buzzwords irritate me also!
