Poll result It's official: the term ICT has joined mobe [1] and lappy [2] in the eternal fires of lexicographical hell after 1,396 of you (57 per cent of the vote) demanded [3] its immediate consignment to the dustbin of history.
A mere 295 (12 per cent) said nay, while the remaining 31 per cent (772) also called for proscription, while taking the chance to request more top-notch stories on Paris Hilton.
Well, you're in luck. Don't ask us how we did it, but we finally managed to find something on the highly-talented heiress with a legitimate ICT angle - the shock news [4] that some poor UCLA student has inherited Hilton's old mobile number.
Regarding ICT, we gather the ruling has caused a bit of a rumpus with El Reg's research boys - whose penchant for a good TLA is witnessed by the fact that they reacted to the news with a flabbergasted WTF? followed by OMG! and an exasperated FMS...
No matter, because the people - who evidently prefer no C in their IT - have spoken. ®
