Couldn’t help but identify things on the Internet that actually make it a worse place:
Awful Job Postings

In a down economy and with people desperate for work, it seems like the the job ads just become worse and worse. Important questions to ponder:
- Is there such a thing as an Entry Level Ninja? I was always under the impression that to achieve Ninja status, you have to train.
- Is there a way to promote from outside? I think the very nature of the word promote requires that someone is in the organization.
Separate observation: does anyone find it peculiar that there are a ton of jobs for real estate agents when real estate purchasing has slowed so much?
People that use uncommon words incorrectly

“I do not think it means what you think it means.”
–Inigo Montoya, The Princess Bride (1987)
A lot of people learn new words by context. This fellow makes the world a worse place by providing incorrect word usage and misguiding the few people on MySpace that actually attempt to learn new words. It just goes to prove that:
“If you’re on MySpace now, you’re a (expletive) cretin. And you’re not only a (expletive) cretin, but you’re poor. Nobody who has beyond an eighth grade level of education is on MySpace. It is for backwards people.”
–Michael Wolff, author of The Man Who Owns The News (Rupert Murdoch biography)
The most terribly ironic part of this is that gentleman seems to have a JD from Ohio State. As if my respect for the academic institution that is THE Ohio State University weren’t already so high.
