I'm not usually one who gets annoyed at neologisms or new words. I don't froth at the mouth every time someone says 'blog'. It seems like a reasonable word to me. Even borrowed words like schadenfreude seem to me to have their uses.
So it sort of surprises me when the latest hip word of the second, 'wunderkammer' grates on me hideously.
No, I'm serious. No more of that one. Kill it before it spreads any farther. It's a really annoying and linguistically silly word. By the time it hit boingboing.net, it was already too overused.
It's over. Go home now.

Could be misunderstanding, as I only spent 5 minutes on the research }:>.

I loathe the word already.
(sorry for the repost - wrong link the first time.)
This same person says "prime number" when he means "power of two" when talking about making tournament tree sheets. He's done this two years running, so I'm going to have to think harder to find a tactful way of making him aware of the error =o.o=.
My other peeve is abused apostrophes, but Bob the Angry Flower has already given that rant more effectively than I ever could =^.^=.
