@Miraz I remember when blogs were called “web logs” 😀 Though not a user of MarsEdit anymore, I loved that app.
@jeroensangers A while ago, eh!
@Miraz Oh yes! I still remember hearing someone on the radio explain how he kept a public log of all the web sites he discovered and visited, and thinking “hey, I do the same thing on my web!”
@gregmoore Hahaha! 😂 Makes me remember when I first saw the word “meme”, I thought it was “meh-meh”, (French-like). @Miraz
@khurtwilliams Good to know it's been around almost 20 years now. It's saved me loads of hair pulling and hundreds, maybe thousands of hours.
@odd @gregmoore During my teaching degree, I once had to attend a lecture on using "mee-mees" in lessons to increase students' engagement (...I think). The fact that this guest lecturer whose field was supposedly social media culture was pronouncing the word that way left me unable to take them seriously... 🙁
@jayeless @odd @gregmoore I was part of a meeting once where a senior teacher of French kept pronouncing resumés (as in CVs) as 'resumes' — the English word for continuing. Drove me batty!
@jayeless I can see that. Not a very organic approach. I remember my boss at the time used to have “funny pictures/videos from the web” in presentations for developers, but this mostly predated memes, I think. There were no text on the images.
