One word: DISAPPEAR.

I've been spending a ridiculous amount of time on the internet these days. It's a habit I need to break, really.

It causes me to take notice of things. Things that bother me. And obsess about them.

Things like the stupid words people use in their internet speak or when trying to be "cool" in California. Words that drive me crazy. Not only do I refuse to give up proper grammar and punctuation in cyberspace, but I refuse -- REFUSE -- to use any of the following words in my internet banter. Or -- GOD FORBID -- in real life.

Because I've heard these words come out of people's mouths. I have.

The list of "WORDS THAT MUST GO TO THE LAKE OF FIRE:"

(and this of course is a work in progress)

• Meh
• Nom
• Staycation
• Hella (of course)
  
• Totes, Supes, or any other word shortened to end in "es" that HAS NO BUSINESS PRETENDING IT'S CUTER THAN IT IS!!!
  

I'll be adding to this periodically. I'm keeping a notepad entry on the CrackBerry. But, in honor of the presidential debate tonight, let me just throw in the obvious...

Yep: you guessed it.



Can't even say it. Type it. Whatever.
