So, I was getting annoyed at the LATimes in correct spelling of the word "blogosphere" as "blog-o-sphere" (in this article) and i got to wondering how on earth do you pronounce that word. So, as far as I can tell, the origin of the term "blogosphere" has to do with it containing the words "sphere" (meaning a space of some sort in this context, (which reminds me of poor mike hill having to explain repeatedly that his thesis on "homotopies of spheres" had nothing to do with queer spheres and was a math thesis)) and also the words logos (meaning truth) and blog (a shortening of weblog). (Thus "blog-o-sphere" is completely rediculous, and it makes you wonder where the editor came up with that spelling.) At any rate, "logos," if i remember correctly (Alec help here), has its first vowel a long O, while the O in blog comes from the O in log and is a short O. So how does one pronounce blogosphere? With a long or a short O for the first vowel? Incidentally, the stress is on the first syllable, right?
