I suppose lag could be used for describing slowness of graphical updates or what not. However, i'd prefer it to be used for internet packet delivery. Keeps things clear, and too the point, which is the whole point of communicating :o)
I'd agree about native english speakers being the worst at their own language sometimes too.
However, what really gets on my nerves, is getting a text, with most of the words replaced with numbers. I generally don't answer them, or text back saying:
"I didn't understand a bloody word of that. Use REAL words"
In fact, i think i have that saved for convient access :o) I don't mind the occasional numbers chucked in, to shorten a text to within a one page limit though.
