Quickly, Robin, To The Blogosphere!
I recently realized that I can now type the phrase blogosphere and mean it in all seriousness.
Not so for the spoken word.
It sounds like something out 1970s pulp, no question about it.
Amusingly a good book I recently read called Iron Sunrise also tried its best to use the terminology seriously, via the phrase "war blogger", a new-fangled next-generation journalist.
Whoever came up with the term "blogosphere" should be seriously kicked.
Bad etymologist!
No insect!
