Thought.

Blog. The phonetic ugliness of the word has long hindered me in beginning to do so. Also the grammatic slipperyness, just exemplified, of this icky-sounding verb/noun. Like bog. Or worse still, jog. Derived from web-log, understandably, but personally I would have preferred e-log, somehow more elegant, like elongate, or in fact something without log altogether, a word so strangely reminiscent of Star Trek and fireplaces.
