What is a blog? What is a wiki? You even use web 2… You’re happy enough throwing those out into the blogosphere but you’re resentful when someone throws a folksonomy at you.

Lets turn this around for a moment. Apparently, I’m always mixing my prepositions or splitting my infinitives. I’ve got no idea what they are. I was too busy doing interesting things at school like setting things on fire or finding out about girls. And before you ask, I never set any girls on fire… except that one time. Who knew magnesium powder would explode like that! I should have paid attention in geography – I would have understood the concept of a prevailing wind…

I digress. Prepositions and splitting infinitives are extremely geeky to me. You try explaining the concept of the active voice to someone who doesn’t get it – they look at you like you’re still wearing your poncho from Woodstock.

A lot of language is domain specific (look it up!) and we have to learn it to be able to use it correctly. We have to learn English and every other language. Are we going to do away with regional dialects colloquialisms because we don’t get them?

Having said that, if you want to start a crusade against the use of the phrase web 2.0, then I’ll join you at the head of the phalanx. And I won’t need the other 299 Spartans!
