I am definitely not a language prescriptionist, but here's a random snapshot from the web site of the guy who coined the "weblog" term... https://web.archive.org/web/20...05223639/http://robotwisdom.com/
And here's the web site of the guy who shortened it to blog, in the era when he did the shortening: http://www.peterme.com/browsed/browsed120199.html
And the amazing and missed Brad Graham on the term... http://www.bradlands.com/weblog/comments/september_10_1999/
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
