Blogging demands immediacy. As readers we're often willing to excuse spelling errors and sloppy writing because by doing so we're able to get a jolt of raw thought, a reaction that hasn't been sifted and screened, that hasn't been cleaned up for popular consumption. With blogging, a gut reaction can often be more meaningful than an overly processed one. Other media exist that allow us to publicly express our thoughts when we're convinced that they've become sufficiently developed that we're willing to let others see them. Blogs invite spontaneity. By forcing myself to check and review my Hebrew I'm continually aware of the fact that I'm trumping myself.
