Words, Phrases and Acronyms that Bug Me

In no particular order.

  • PLN (too inside baseball)
  • 21st Century Learning/Skills (everyone has a different idea of what it means, plus how far into the century do we have to go before we stop using it)
  • Web 2.0 (most people have no idea what Web 1.0 was)
  • preso (I want to take a shower after hear that word, very used car salesmanishy)
  • calling a movie a slideshow (happens when you create a video with a lot of stills)
  • "at this point in time" (a fancy way of saying now)
  • "that being said" (a fancy way of saying but)
  • "could care less (wait. what are you saying?)
  • 'za' as in let's get some '[piz]za' (I can honestly say I've only heard this used on very rare occasion but I would have to punch you if you said it. Almost as bad as 'coff" for "coffee")
  • calling a blog post, a blog. "That's a great blog you wrote today"
  • Speedy Creek (only SK folks will get that one, I could never call Moose Jaw, "The Jaw")
  • LOL (this might well be the first time I've ever typed that)
  • Peeps (I could never be cool enough to use that term, plus a barely know what it means)

I'm not losing any sleep or anything, just wanted to get that off my chest. Now it's your turn. Whaddya got?
