curmudgeonly peeve-fest

[rmd]

some of my peeves on this dreary saturday:

• "blog" as a verb.


• the term "blogosphere".


• election/political propaganda mailings and telephone calls. even from people/groups i agree with and support. i'm just tired of it.


• my own sloth

feel free to comment and share your peeves today!

Etymology

If "blog" as a verb bothers you, does "log"? That's the derivation, and we've been "logging" entries for at least a couple hundred years (if not longer).
