Rant alert!
I don't know if this happens anywhere else, but at the iSchool there are a lot of people who call webserver logs weblogs,
and it bugs the crap out of me. I've explained it to people several times, but they just don't seem to get it.
I guess people make this mistake because they don't really know what either of these things is, so they take the word that they've heard a lot recently (weblogs
) and apply it to the thing they're talking about (server logs). It sounds sort of the same, right? Only they're not at all the same thing, and they shouldn't have to use the same word.
Please, someone, tell me I'm the only one who's ever heard this and that this is not going to become a widespread trend!
