Your tweedy and largely "Edwardian" Pedant-General treats his co-inhabitants of the blogosphere with much the same horror that he reserves for all this new-fangled nonsense. (you know, washing machines, showers that actually work rather than dribbling a miserable trickle of scalding liquid whilst the rest of you freezes, video cassette recorders, that sort of thing). Naturally, he keeps his outward forays to the barest minimum needed to corroborate the bile with which these pages are filled.
Limited those these forays are, I cannot help but notice the glee with which other "bloggers" record how their "sites" are chosen by "search engines" in response to the most abstruse terms.
Today, however, I discover that Infinitives Unsplit (pbuh) is awarded the Silver medal from MSN Search in response to the search for "another word for wicked or depraved".
Your grammatically unimpeachable Pedant-General is quite content to take second place in this contest, given that the winner manages to get the word "Discombobulation" into the title of his blog and is evidently a considerably greater danger to the public at large than I am.
