Forrest Wickman's blog or, as it should properly be called, blog post delves into the misuse of language in the world of blogging. Clearly upset, Wickman, delivers his logical argument on the preset that misusing words in the virtual world has become a commonality that has rapidly entrapped even the most famous and recognized bloggers on the web today. He highlights the idea that writing blog instead of post or any of its other alternate definitions not only confuses and troubles the reader but presents the author as a noob or a person who is ignorant to the true definition of the words that define the blogging community.
I rarely find myself as troubled and upset as Wickman with the misuse of language because truthfully, I'm constantly infringing the rules in my writing, but probably most in my speaking. This off course is no excuse, it just doesn't give me any moral grounds to judge others on their own violations. It does, though, remind me of a specific situation that has become routine in the car rides alongside my sister.
Singing along tunes is, truthfully, a very enjoyable hobby I usually practice in the car and occasionally in the shower. My memorization of song's lyrics would be categorized as average if not below average. My sister on the other hand sings along as if she wrote the lyrics word for word, not to mention she can detect even the smallest deviation from the original. Quickly she's just as annoyed and frustrated at me as Wickman is at his fellow bloggers, although I'm having just as much fun as her. Its clear then that even though Arianna Huffington misuses the word blog she enjoys writing posts just as much as Wickman and I'd go on even to say she's more successful at it. She would sound more professional if she utilized the proper word and after reading this post she probably will, but its maybe a little OCD on Wickmans part reflected by his insufferable character. Maybe its just one of his pet peeves.
I now know not to make this mistake although my emotions are still pretty mixed up on whether or not to improve my lyric memorization techniques.
It is my understanding now that this isn't a blog but rather a blog post I posted on my blog.
