poor, poor genius
Poor Dotty. Look what she's missing out on. What a great opportunity.
Using "blogit" would make me thousands of dollars! Imagine what my subscription list would be like. So many people discovering my none-too-reliable schedule of writing; so many people curious about my dogs; so many people who currently don't take advantage of the possibility that they could pay me lots of money to read things that I rarely proofread.
Of course, this means that I'm supposed to read other people's blogs. I suppose with the idea of quid pro quo. But I mean really.
I vote that this is one of those things that sounds kind of tempting, but is, in fact, a great way to spend $5.95 a month to lose the right to exclusive use of your own material. Punks. And so, I vote no.
Yeah, I didn't mention, they'd have non-exclusive rights to all of your stuff. So you can still use your own stuff, but they can, too, and anywhere they want to. It seems to me that it isn't really your stuff anymore. Not really.
And I think what I'm really pissed off about is the spelling. Blog-it would be okay. Bloggit would be correct from a pronounciation standpoint. But Blogit. It would be said blow-git wouldn't it? And that just seems naughty. There's too much naughtiness on the internet already, yes?
Teach your children well. Grammar and spelling will one day cause them troubles, but keep from steering themselves down paths of badness.
