Pedants

Check this out: a weblog devoted to cataloguing spelling errors in other weblogs. I’m a spelling Nazi myself (and former County Spelling Bee champion), but I don’t like this concept. Weblogs are personal pages. You don’t criticize somebody’s personal page, period. I’ve been on weblogs where I hate the design or the functionality or whatever, but I’ve kept my mouth shut because that’s what polite people do. If a blogger’s style of writing bothers you, don’t read their stuff. Simple as that. There’s no need to get pedantic about it. (Link courtesy of John, who agrees with me.)


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
