To See Your Eyes Roll

As if beating a dead horse was to spear the wife...

I was trying to submit my pitiful story on Digg and did a spell check of my title/description, and low and behold, the work Blogger and Blog are not in the dictionary. And then after that, it had like 20 other possible dupes, which yes, were dupes. Apparently a lot of other people share my observations and thought worthy of blogging.

I think just about anything is worthy of blogging, which may be the reason that so many people roll their eyes at someone who blogs.

-Looking forward to see your eyes roll,
The Blogger

Blogger Spell Check


So, after the last posting, I did a spell check and the only word it had issue with was "blog"...

So, doing a little searching around and I found that blog is in many dictionaries including the Merriam-Webster dictionary:

http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/blog
Main Entry: blog
Pronunciation: 'blog, 'bläg
Function: noun
Etymology: short for Weblog:
a Web site that contains an online personal journal with
reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer
- blog·ger noun
- blog·ging noun

You would think of all the spell checks in the world, that at least Blogger would have the word blog in it's dictionary. Also, checking the spelling on this post finds blogger as a misspelled word.
