Alex Ross graciously complies with my request that, even though beside the point, he give his readers the proper pronunciation of bløgösphère, his coined term to designate the cultural blogosphere.
After reading Alex's response, I fear the term is not destined to play well in Poughkeepsie.
Damn shame, too. We really do need a catchy designation to set off the cultural blogosphere from the uniformly disreputable other regions of that vast cyber universe.
I'm working on it.
