Yes, it’s true - the blog Pat and I started kind of as a joke (Literally, A Weblog) is getting publicity in the blogosphere. It was mentioned in the Language Log* on Oct. 25th (though I don’t know if I like their description of it as being “slavishly devoted to particular points of grammar, punctuation, or usage” [emphasis mine]) and in a Slate article Tuesday. W00t! Now where are those profits…
* Also featured in the Language Log is Apostrophe Abuse, which was started by a friend of Ryan’s who was inspired by the literally blog.

Re: profits - I noticed the following entries in my amazon report, which probably came via links from the blog:
$0.33 The F-Word
$0.06 Lincoln’s Men: How President Lincoln Became Father to an Army and a Nation Third Party
At this rate I don’t think we can retire anytime soon.
But hey, at least it’s good for your Google ranking!
And which I barely avoided mention in.
Congratulations!
