While we are ranting...
Add a ban on people writing 'google it' when they use a term or reference that they think others may not understand.
What is the story here? 1,000 people should open a new tab, type in a search term and dig through the results to find an informative site and discover the explanation? Nice one.
How about if you use a term that you think a large number of people might not understand you explain it, or provide a link to an explanation. Or dont if you dont want to - that's fine too because the internet is not new and we are aware we have the option to look things up.
But please dont type the instruction 'google it' you rude arrogant secret-knowledge plonkers.
