Getting back to the original question (favorite or irritating Net words) - my peeve is the e e cummings style, which I find suggests at best laziness and at worse disrespect, sloppiness, ignorance (I'm sure there is something worse yet, therefore not "at worst"). It's not a word, not even an acronym, but a style. Is anyone else bothered by this practice?
now that you mention it, I abhor it. anyone who consistently makes a practice of this style should be hung by his thumbs from the mizzenmast of a burning ship. (the mainmast would show him too much respect.)
