One of many hats I wear is that of a lexicographer. In 1990 I began maintaining the Jargon File, still available on my website and released as three paper editions in 1991, 1993, and 1996. At the time, I was a bit nervous about what I might learn if a “real” lexicographer ever showed up to critique the work. Would I be toold that my efforts were amateurish, shoddy, and marred by methodological error?"

Forgive me for being easily confused, but is that your blog or just someone that you find interesting? The article was interesting, but for a few typographical errors. But from what I learned from my study of internet vernacular as it pertains specifically to the the MMORPG, World of Warcraft, typographical errors can quickly and easily become lingo. Anyway if it is your blog way to go and if it not your blog then who do I say "way to go" to? LOL
In a related topic: if anyone is interested in reading my essay "WOW Socialect" I'd be happy to post it or email it. :)
And leave it to me to put a typo in my comment about typos. :P I meant to say "if it is not" rather than "if it not." And I think I should have used "whom" rather than "who" but who(m) knows or cares anymore? LOL
I do.

Ashley,
It is not my blog. I thought it interesting.
I care.
