Words

The longer I stare at the word blog the uglier it gets, and a quick search shows most varieties of the word have been explored. Blogue, blogette.

Anyway, I've followed the instructions and here I am, and am supposed to express my feelings about it all so far. It was quite simple, instructive and fun - and clearly could be rather addictive. And equally easy to forget a few weeks' instructions and then having to catch up rather a lot, a situation probably best avoided. And I like this default font.

  3. Hello Marjolein!

    I do agree with you on the word "blog" being slightly clunky! I think weblog works far better but as with everything, it must be shortened for ease etc. Anyway, I'm glad you've started a blog and are looking forward to more 23 Things!

  4. Bloguoteer?
    What's most annoying is that so far all spell checks I've used all highlight blog as a spelling mistake. Anyway, as Europeans isn't there an EU directive telling us to spell it blogue - if there isn't shouldn't there be?

  5. Hmm, blogette somehow reminds me of French bread. I do agree though, it's a rather unpalatable word. According to Wikipedia it's a portmanteau of the term "web log". There surely must be a nicer way of shortening/abbreviating "web log"?
