And the third most vexatious Weblish word?
Blog.
The survey was generated to in honour of the 10th anniversary of the phrase ‘web-log,’ better known today as ‘blog’.
Who wanted to know?
The Lulu Blooker Prize, a literary award for blooks (another most-hated webword) or, books based on blogs or other websites, including webcomics.

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
