Proposal: Vitamin K

Enacted 17-0. Ien.

Adminned at 10 May 2010 09:07:41 UTC

Replace “Blognomicer” with “Blognomicker” throughout the ruleset.

I keep reading “Blognomicer” with a soft “c”. There aren’t many verbs that end in “ic”, but “picnic” becomes “picnicker”.

for I’ve been reading it with the hard “k” just like in picnicker, so for the sack of semantics.

for  Of course, while we’re changing keywords we could capitalize the “N”. Oh, well.

for Though personally I’d prefer something that rolled off the tongue even more easily when said repeatedly, like Nomist or Nomer.

I think we should just be called Players, with the emperor just the Emperor.

@Qwazukee: No, I don’t think so (it’s “picnicker” here as well). Then again, you live in Michigan, right? Linguistically, Michigan is closer to Canada than to North Dakota (where I live).

Physically, too.
