Ce n’est pas une poésie en français

La plume de ma tante est sur la table.
Pourquoi la plume de ma tante?
Pourquoi la table?
D’ou cette idée fixe?
Je ne sais pas,
parce que,
parce que,
Je ne peux pas parler français.

Welcome to my new blog, Logomacy. Why yet another blog?

Well, two reasons, mainly.

First: I wanted to play around with the Wordpress blogging software so that I can move away from the now moribund MovableType 2.6x

Second: Recently I’ve been doing a lot of stuff relating to words and language (reading linguistics blogs, studying Latin and Old English, creating wikis and blogs relating to both those pursuits) and while I’ve been blogging about some of it, I’ve been feeling that none of my current blogs is really appropriate for these topics. The handful of readers of Foolippic, for instance, don’t care about Old English at all (and nor should they). That goes in spades for my other, more special purpose blogs, such as Books Do Furnish a Room, or BlogRiPpinG.

So, a brand new blog to play with.
