Attention x-treme geeks of Mises.org

October 1, 2007 by

David Veksler has a blog on Mises.com in which he details the technology behind Mises.org/com. It makes for great reading.

Terminology: you guys are using “blog” to mean what I would call a “blog post.” A blog is the forum, and you put “posts” or “articles” in it, not “blogs.” :) To me it’s as if you said “Murray Rothbard has a newspaper in the New York Times today” when you meant “editorial” or “column.”

But then again, I’m an old Internet fart, and maybe the terminology has evolved and left me behind.

You are correct, Daniel. My mistake. :) I’ve just been seeing people misuse the word “blog” for a couple of weeks, now, and being a pedantic geek it’s been mystifying me a lot. When I thought I saw it being used here, among intelligent people, I thought I might have the chance to combat the degradation of the language. But I see that I was misreading.

My apologies, Jeffrey. :)

Forgiven! The language mistake annoys me too, and for no good reason, since only a tiny percent of the population understands any of this stuff.
