Most annoying internet mis-spellings

[beet1e]

The present participle of the verb "to die" is dying. And yet so many people spell it "dieing". Same thing with "to lie" - lying, but some folks put "lieing".

Another one is "lethality" - the extent to which something is lethal. Some people spell this as "leathiality".

The ability to spell is inversely proportionate to intelligence.

(and I looked all those words up )

Rediculous, rediculolous... only -blitz should be allowed those alternative spellings.

'Surf the web'

This really annoys me, that they use surfing imagery for the internet. I mean my broadband modem is a 'Motorola SURFBOARD'  

Now I was a stereotipical computer geek (skinny, glasses) when I was younger and its taken alot of hard work to become a good surfer and loose that geekyness. Now i have to explain myself all the time that when I say 'surf' i mean down the beach in the outside world not sat infront of my PC, all pasty white and geeky like i used to be.  

but anyway language evolves, new words are added each year  and meanings change over time.

When was the last time you heard 'bear with me' when you rang a call center and got put on hold.
 I mean they're asking you to have children with them

What do the French geeks think of the government telling them to not use the word (or is it a phrase) 'e-mail'?

Nada, I've  the can use any word to express myself provided that the person I'm talking to know the word I'm using.

We are just suposed to use a the existing French word when it exist like using "FAC-SIMILÉ" instead of "REPRINT"
or "LOGICIEL" instead of "SOFTWARE".

Only some snob moron speak some "Franglish" like I've heard a idiot say :
"ce produit est very succesfull aux states"
He have to choose between French and English when speaking and not using a sort of Pigin ..
