Jiblog presents: Most Annoying, Overused Word of 2006

And the winner is (drumroll, please):

Row
1. a noisy dispute or quarrel; commotion.

This word, which is primarily used by the Brits, can be found in what seems like every third headline originating from the U.K. On any given day, you will stumble upon row at Reuters, the BBC, and any number of British newspaper websites. For 2007, Jiblog asks that the major British media and new organizations purchase their headline writers a thesaurus.
