Most annoying commonly used word..

This is the first time I've heard this word this month, the last was while reading one of Maddox's rants.

Standard requirement to become part of the blogosphere 😛😉
I can't stand it, but I digress... 🙂o😉 )
 
You have a link to a blog in your sig. You're contributing to the problem.

I don't think anyone who uses the word "blogosphere" is trying to sound sophisticated.

In summary, STFU.

kthxbye
 
"utilize," because most of the time, whenever people utilize "utilize," they could just as easily use "use" instead.
 
It seems people feel extremely uncomfortable with new words. When I started my blog on my first trip around the world, it was just to keep in touch with family and friends and let them know where I was going and what I was doing. However every single person I gave my blog link to would later refer to it as "blog thing." Is "thing" really necessary? I mean some of them were fairly internet savvy and had no doubt used a blog before, but had just not allowed the word to enter their daily vocabulary. They used the word as if they wanted nothing to do with it.

I remember the same types of responses with "e-mail," "web site," and "download."
