Deadly Internet Sins

There are a few things that should never be mentioned on the Internet unless you're being ironic. Being serious when talking about any of these can cause angry mobs to form. I'm going to risk my virtual life to inform you of these horrific subjects. Here we go...

CROCS
The shoe brand 'Crocs®' generally don't appeal to the Internet kingdom. If you ever tweeted "I love my new Crocs" It's rather like saying you enjoy wearing socks and sandals. It's a lie. If however you genuinely do love the feel of rubber shoes with holes in them, keep it to yourself and express your feels on a Croc lovers forum. (I'll howl if one of these actually exists).

SAYING 'YOLO' & 'SWAG'
I don't see why anyone would chose to use these words as part of a serious sentence but a select few do. Using these words ironically is acceptable, using them not ironically is not acceptable. The words are both associated with the 'chav' community which is a crowd most of us Internet folk will never mix with (In fact us Internet folk will never mix with anyone...). Some people, such as me, physically vomit and gag when people type these words. This is called 'crapaphobia' which if you haven't already guessed, is a phobia of camels. That was my attempt at an unfunny joke...

#HASH #TAGGING
Hash tagging was obviously made for Twitter but some imbeciles decided to start using them on Facebook. Hash tagging on Facebook is a massive sin. It's just so wrong it makes me sick. Hash tagging on Twitter is beginning to fade out at the moment so unless your tag is in the top three trends, don't use it. 

SPELLING  
Spelling and grammar MUST be of an exemplary standard for you to be granted access to some social networking sites. You will often be corrected if an apostrophe sits in the wrong place or you use an incorrect term so save yourself now and read a dictionary and thesaurus before joining the Internet.  

So they are just a few Internet sins in existence today. Follow my wise guidance and your Internet life will become your only life. 

Thank you for taking the time out of your obviously busy schedule to read this post of useless information. Please share this and Google + me. Social networking links can be found in a previous post.
