Sexting has been voted the most annoying example of tech talk or geek speak. It topped an online poll of 2,054 people conducted by YouGov for Computeractive to find the single "most annoying or horrible" new technology-related word added to dictionaries over the last year or so.
The next most irritating words, felt those polled (who, you know, might want to get out more often), were respectively: Intexticated; Defriend; and Twittersphere.
Yawn. Am I the only one who doesn't actually find these examples of tech talk/geek speak all that annoying? I mean, OK, they're not words that I use on a regular basis but as polls go this one is pretty lame. Easy targets and all.
