Protest Against "Correctness"

  Okay, so I'll be honest; I read and watch a lot of really weird and random stuff.


  A lot.


  Some of them have animals as main characters.


  Whenever I see/read one like that (regardless of what it is), they never fail to refer, at least once, to a  generality (anyone, everyone) with the prefix "any" or "every" followed by the type of animal (i.e: anycat, everymouse, etc.).

 This bothers me.
 A lot.
Allow me to explain why.

While I can understand the need to feel "correct," and make sure the viewer understands that these are animals, the terms "anyone" and "everyone" refer to any "one," as in "individual," or every "one" as in a group of individuals. This could be a human, a cat, a frog, a talking trash can, I don't care. But the terms are anyone and everyone.

.....

Really.

Not "anycat."



That is all.

Blog Logic!

Hey! I learned something! When people still used boats as the main transportation, to tell how fast they were going, they would drop a certain kind of log in the water, attached by a rope with knots at regular intervals. They would count the number of knots in the rope, and however many knots they counted would signify their speed (less knots would mean a slower speed). In reference to the log they used, the term "captain's log," and even "blog" and "vlog." Yay fun facts!

That is all.
