10 Internet Rules and Laws

Posted by Miss Cellania in Blogs & Internet on October 23, 2009 at 6:12 pm

The laws of the internet were never legislated, but passed into law by being evident over and over again. I was familiar with most of these laws, but some I didn’t know had names or documented origins.

4. Skitt’s Law:  Expressed as “any post correcting an error in another post will contain at least one error itself” or “the likelihood of an error in a post is directly proportional to the embarrassment it will cause the poster.”
It is an online version of the proofreading truism Muphry’s Law, also known as Hartman’s Law of Prescriptivist Retaliation: “any article or statement about correct grammar, punctuation, or spelling is bound to contain at least one eror”.

That’s nice to know. Link -via Digg
