Has the meaning of the word “blog” changed?

Sadly, I think the answer is “yes”.

@adders Yes. It now means blog post.

@adders Yes. It now means blog post.

@jeremycherfas Ooops. Micro.blog has been kind of flaky since this morning CEST.

@adders Not for me but increasingly yes. And it is so infuriating!

@adders I’ve noticed that too. And I think “I wrote a blog” sounds terrible. 😬

Then again, I used to feel the same way about “I wrote an email.” Email message used to be the correct term.

Language evolves, and it drags me behind it, kicking and screaming. 😂

@Cheri I also like to swim against the semantic drift…
