beulahbondo's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah I know I know, I know, and maybe only I know because no one reads me anymore, but I have not posted in a while. I'm going to warm up by reposting this very good guide to rhetorical devices and blogging cliches from Gawker. We did this once when I worked on the copy desk at a National Business Magazine and our list included such lazy conclusions as "it's too early for the bottom line, but so far, it's a strategy that seems to work." Here's the Gawker post. It's really long, so I'll post it in pieces: "An annotated list of words, phrases, and terms that have long overstayed their welcome in the media-blogosphere. Send in your own, and as always, feel free to chime in comment-wise. Best. [ultimate thing or experience.] Ever/Evar. [undesirable counter-example], not so much. FTW, O RLY, lol, FTL, OMG, FWIW, btw, PWND, ROTFL, etc. 3:50 p.m. - 2006-12-15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
