Let's face it: No matter how enjoyable spending day after day online can be, as each hour adds up there are a few little things that just get more annoying.

If you go WTF about what people write and "" makes you utter a primal scream, try . It lets you replace any words you hate with ones of your choosing across the Web, whether it's an acronym or a typo that you come across way too often.

It's a great way of improving what you read, but is also perfect for a bit of fun. I'm currently making the entire Internet fit in the age of bowler-hat Britain, by swapping "bro" for "my good fellow," and replacing "LOL" with "that did cause me to titter."
