Blog as a Noun
When I see blog entries like:
Today, I joined the emerging ranks of genuine Windows users. I blogged about the new program …
I literally want to tear out my own hair by the roots and write,
I blogged about my masochistic baldness….
Blog is a noun, fellows. It’s a noun that stems from the original phrase, “Web Log.” When you post something on your blog, you’re blogging, but you haven’t blogged, and you don’t blog. You write. Writing is a distinguished, elegant profession that for years has been well respected as the hobby of the educated man. Why pass up a chance to say, “I wrote about the new program” and elevate yourself from the ranks of the technocrats. Why, every blogger could be an intellectual, if he’d only write–and didn’t blog.
