I can't say Wiki without sliding my hand in a DJ like motion and saying "Wik..wik...wik....wikipedia"

It's like tourettes or something.

Not really, no. It's called Wikipedia.

There are lots of 'Wiki' sites. Wikileaks being a popular one. If someone just said Wiki, unless the conversation had already started and you were discussing something in particular, chances are you wouldn't have a clue which 'wiki' they're talking about.

My Polish colleague says "Vye-kipedia".

That doesn't annoy me either.

Personally, I always say wikipedia.

"The Queen you say?

WHICH QUEEN? You never said the Queen of England, you could be talkin' about the Queen ofDenmark for all I know!"

The post I quoted is the equivelant of the argument that often occurs on AH when someone mentions "The Queen".

Everyone knows the poster means The Queen of England, but you always get someone who says it could be any queen.

I'm pretty sure if someone said "I read on Wiki", you'd presume they meant Wikipedia!

Wikipedia is a Wiki. It was not the first Wiki. Wikis were originated in the mid 90s and used in corporate environments long before Wikipedia.

Yup! But if I said to you "I read on Daniel O'Donnell's wiki page.........." you'd presume I meant Wikipedia and not WikiLeaks right?

No.. I'd assume that there's a wiki site for Daniel O Donnell. Just like there is for so many other specific subjects.

Your ignorance to something that gets you so annoyed is pretty amazing.

Me? Where have I been annoyed? Why would this annoy me at all?

[Deleted User]

Presumed you were OP, sorry.

You're all wrong it's Sickipedia.

emeraldstar

Why would it? Wiki would annoy me more actually. In fact I've never heard anybody say "wiki"

alchemist33

What annoys me is that Wikileaks is not a wiki.

Wikipedia is just one of many wikis.

We use a fair few different (internal) wikis at work, calling wikipedia 'wiki' is just confusing.
