Definitely not a blessay

without comments

Along with 0.3 M other readers that initially took his blog server down for a few days I have become a fan of Stephen Fry’s foray into blogging. Of course I am long a fan of his TV and movie performances.

Going further, I particularly like his new word ‘blessay’. It perfectly describes his long blog posts that need a full ten minutes of more to digest. Fortunately Stephen’s blessays don’t appear too frequently so the significant time investment is worth it.

That said his other attempt at neologism ‘blisquisition’ is not nearly so attractive and it’s sheer difficulty in pronunciation rules against it from the start.
