NY Times asks, in regards to MediaNews’ “individuated” (horrible word choice) newspaper printouts, “Could customized newspapers bring readeres back?” We have customized newspapers. We’ve had them for more than a decade. On the friggin’ internet! This is like Detroit trying to invent the mechanical donkey.
You’re way too hard on the Times. That is a perfectly valid question, in the sense that it forms a grammatically correct, semantically clear sentence made up of commonly-used English words.
The answer, of course, is “No, but I appreciate that you took the time to ask that.”
Jeff, you sound more and more frustrated, I have to say. And you blog shorter, it seems. Actually, I liked the old Buzzmachine better.
