<Rant>Life is not HTML</End Rant>

One thing that really fucking annoys me is people using HTML tags in places where it really doesn’t apply. Like in an E-mail, or a forum comment.

It’s such a smarmy twat way to say you’re a dick. “Oh, I know a few tags in HTML so therefore I can go around using ‘clever’ invented ones that I made up to show just how fucking L33t I am”

<Repeat after me>YOUR HTML SKILLS SUKETH</Repeat after me>

The problem – however, is that the HTML tags you’re using don’t actually exist. I’ve scoured all over w3schools and cannot find a single reference to <Rant>

Sure, you can define custom HTML tags, if you are a big twat, fine, go for it. But again, all you’re demonstrating is that you’re not very good at keeping up to date.

If you want to show how fucking ace you are, go learn brainfuck, (although, to be fair, I am extremely tempted to learn LOLCode)

Those kinds of <GEEK> T-shirts annoy me too. I consider this annoyance a general, all round, honest to goodness, awesomely umbrella annoyance.

Edit: to almost completely rip the space/time/irony paradox a new arsehole, the funky new html tags in this very post fucked up. Fucking wordpress.
