A poll of over 2000 British adults by a computer magazine found that they think the most annoying tech-related word to enter the dictionary in the past year is “sexting”. “Sexting” was given the magazines’s annual “Unspeakable Award” topping contenders “defriend,” “Twittersphere” and “intexticated.” The editor said that any word that can be voted more horrible that “intexticated” deserves an award.
- The runner up for the “Unspeakable” Award went to “President Obama without his teleprompter”.
- In a related tech story… Chaz Bono recently switched from a “She-mail” to a “He-mail” account.
