I just encountered, for like the fifth time in my life, the word "webinar." This word bothers me. It means "seminar on the web." I'm not too concerned with the linguistic nonsense of the word. I don't care that a "seminar" is not hosted in a "sem" or that "sem" is not a prefix at all and therefore cannot be so haphazardly replaced. I'm upset because this word sounds ugly.
Let's explore this issue. Webinar. Sounds more like the name of a wizard or a really lame board game, and let's face it, those things are not known for their cool sounding names (names like Gandalf and Parcheesi).
I suggest we abandon this word. And let us abandon the thing that this word means.
