E-noying people tend to end up on my E-nore list.

good word. I get my share of emails from those i know. some i really like and pass on to others. some go into delete. I send some myself but try and keep it down somewhat. I pick and choose what i send.

LOVE this word. Though commercial spam is the most "e-nnoying", corny forwards by out-of-control relatives can get almost as tired. Pop-ups definitely deserve the "e-nnoying" label as well.

This word popped into existence so naturally for me, that I would be surprised if nobody else has thought of it. A year or two ago, I was sitting at home in front of a computer, arms folded as I waited for my email to download. One, two three emailed movie clips of animal home videos and suchlike came through in painfully slow but steady progression from a well-meaning colleague and I was becoming increasingly frustrated, as I had just wanted to quickly check my email. In the background, I heard my daughter complaining that her brother was reeely ennoying her (that's how she pronounced annoying). I looked back at the progress bar on the computer screen, something clicked, and a word was born.

Love this one. Would have been more useful back in high school/college days, when my mailbox would be FLOODED with those ten-billion question surveys that are fun for, oh, about the first half an hour, but get tiring when it gets to question number 259. I like e-mails with pictures and the like, but I prefer when they come with personal correspondence as well.
