Things I've written that have amused other people, Episode 3

In an internal discussion of the women blogger conference known as BlogHer, somebody asked, “Why isn’t there a BlogHim?” I replied,

Isn’t that the plural of the word “blog” in Hebrew?

This got quite an amused response from the Hebrew-speaking (or at least vaguely Hebrew-aware) members of the mailing list.

Not bad for having studied Hebrew for about ten seconds. (Apparently a better spelling of the plural would be “blogim” or “bloggim”. But it wouldn’t have been as funny.)

Raymond Chen

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
