Whoa, strong statements right away!
Hear me out, though. Let's play a little game. Look at the words below. They are words associated with writing.
Write
Letter
Note
Poem
Verse
Lyric
Line
Calligraphy
Scribble
Book
Manuscript
Journal
Publication
All sounding good. Some beautiful, even. And then you have:
Blog
A word that sounds like someone having a fit of literary vomit. Or a bad day they summed up in one sound. Blog? Really? This was the best we could come up with for this dying format? It couldn't have been named an e-journal or anything else? Anyone else remember LiveJournal and its prototumblr cousin, DeadJournal? How did it come to this? Why couldn't we keep the "Journal" part, were there too many letters?
What are your thoughts on the name of the format? And while we're at it, do you have any other words you'd want to be stricken out of the dictionary?
Words like Moreover, perhaps? Or... moist?
See - I don't intend to make this all serious. I promised shitposting, and shitposting there shall also be.
You're on:
ReplyDelete- ronk

Was dat wat u ment? xD
I'm not sure, my brain is trying to wrap around half of those words still. A privateering rosolan sounds like something I'd not want to see either, though. :D
DeleteWho gave the mon-keigh a type-writer?!
ReplyDeleteNook, though, really? It is kinda a stupid word, sure, but THAT bad?
ReplyDeleteread in conjunction with the previous and next lines. }:->
Delete-_-
ReplyDeleteBut also, why Poe? What do you have against gothic literature?
ReplyDeleteWhy would you take it as having something against? I simply wrote the first thing that came to my mind. xP
DeleteOh.
DeleteOH.
Now it makes a little more sense.
