The original bloggers

While spelunking the Internet tonight, I rediscovered Project Gutenberg

 

It occurs to me that Mark Twain and the authors of his time were the bloggers of his time.  The publishing process (i.e. various forms of stain on crushed emulsified dead tree material, bulky manufacturing equipment, physical form and a need for physical distribution) required greater resource investment, and therefore more  attention to ‘correct’ grammar.  The Twain-Blog that I’m currently reading is called FOLLOWING

THE EQUATOR.

 

I’m yet to be convinced that correct grammar necessitates clear concise communication. 

 

Often when programming in C++ and Java, ‘in-correct’ syntax leads to a more effective encoding.
