Imagine this: The rapid movement of your fingertips punch in the URL of your best friend's blog. As you wait patiently for your rather slow Internet connection to load the page, you eagerly anticipate reading what new posts your friend has posted recently. It has been a long time since you visited her blog. What has she been up to these days? Would you see happy recounts of these past days or would you see rants? Finally, the page appears, revealing her blog on tumblr.com. Guess what? You see a plethora of posts, ranging from photos to clip arts to songs to video clips. You scroll down, ignoring all the posts that were 're posted'. There wasn't a single post she typed in herself. You click 'next' when you hit the bottom of the page. Nope, she hasn't posted a single original heartfelt entry. Disappointed, you furiously type in another URL, this time on blogger, and after a short wait, you see the difference. You read all the entries, albeit since a long time ago, but nonetheless the feelings in the posts were raw and real. You learn of what your friend has been up to the recent months, and empathise when you see her expressing sadness and anger in her online diary entries. What has happened to online diary writing? Has tumblr turned that into pure plagiarism, never mind that they allow it, as long as they keep the original source stated?
Well. I was initially planning to type out an exposition, to practise for EOY. Yeah, right. I am so hardworking right? Turns out that my introduction has grown too long, if i were to type out the whole exposition, it would have to be pages for it to balance my introduction. Never mind, the introduction pretty much states my stand.
I have a question though. Practise is the verb and practice is the noun, am I right or is that my own misconception? I'm asking this as my spell check is giving me red squiggley underlines for 'practise'.
