Just saw the word “weblog” for the first time in ages—the abbreviation “blog” has basically taken over completely. Interestingly, I read it as “we blog”. This is quite a neat pun, which I am struggling to get my head around: “weblog” gets abbreviated to “blog” which then means that “weblog” looks like “we blog” which is itself an abbreviation of “we weblog” and so on…
btw The * symbol is the Kleene Star.
