Kinda along the lines of the key difference between my perspective and Man Ching’s: “Nevertheless, Truss acknowledges that ‘this is an exciting time for the written word: it is adapting to the ascendant medium, which happens to be the most immediate, universal, and democratic medium that has ever existed.’ With the ever-expanding power of the blog, more and more people have the opportunity to voice their ideas in the public arena. But why is blogging so powerful? Because blogs are the unedited voice of the people. And why is blogging so horrifying to sticklers like Truss? Because blogs are the unedited voice of the people. Though Blogger gives everything else away for free, sadly the service does not come with a cranky grammar bitch with blue pencil in hand. Luckily for you, however, it does come with a spell-check and an edit button. These tools are your friends. Use them.”
