A Blogger Blogs About “Blog”

Language seems to prove evolution an incorrect theory, as it becomes less and less fit over time. Here are seven reasons we should remove “blog” from our language

1. It sounds like you have lots of cheese in your mouth when you say it
2. It wasn’t in the dictionary I used at college
3. Some words sound stupid after you repeat them ten times – “blog” sounds stupid right from the start
4. It is a four-letter word
5. It is one of those annoying words that gets used as a noun and a verb (see also “antique”, as in “let’s go antiquing” – what?!)
6. It has also been used as a root for other annoying words (Example #1 – “blogger”, which sounds perilously similar to “booger” and Example #2 – and my all-time least favorite quasi-word, “blogosphere”)
7. What would be wrong with just saying “web site” (as in “Check out my web site”)
