Blog (noun)

Filed under: — daniel @ 21:35

I normally think of the term blog as being a web site of dated entries. As a noun, you can have a blog. As a verb you can blog (eg post) something to it.

It would seem there are people out there using the word blog to mean what I would normally call a blog post:

I’m back, starting with an apology for the lack of blogs over the last few months.

Garry McGhie, V/Line

Not to single this instance out, because I’ve seen other examples of this use around the place, too. But it just doesn’t sound quite right to me.

Wiktionary / Dictionary.com / Urban Dictionary / Merriam-Webster / YourDictionary.com / Encarta — All these appear to agree with me.

    So… Kirk and Picard were wrong? They wrote daily clogs. (Captain’s Log.) They never said “Captain’s log post” did he? Nooo…

    Oh gawd… the heat… it’s melting my brain!
