(blŏg) – Blog – Blogger –
Don’t get me wrong, I love blogging and have been doing it as MommyQ with questionable success for about two years. The one thing I hate about blogging is actually saying the word BLOG. There’s just something annoying about how the word sounds. “I’m a blogger. I have a mom blog.” Too many “blah” sounds. It’s just not phonetically attractive. It almost like you’re just going to throw up mid-sentence. “I’m a <insert vomit here> for a few parenting communities.”
I’ve tried to avoid using the word in conversation and I end up sounding more idiotic than usual. For example,
Q: What do you do?
A: I write for various weblogs.
Weblog? That sounds even worse. Like a creature from Lord of The Rings. “Keep an eye out for weblogs, Froto. They intend to steal the Ring.” Am I being overly sensitive to the word? Does anyone else who blogs find it slightly awkward. Drop me a line. Noodling moms want to know. 😉
This was quite amusing.
I enjoyed reading it.
