It might have something to do with the very geeky fact that one might talk about ‘logs’, web access log, error log, and so forth. For me, when I look at ‘blog’, I see the word ‘log’, not blog. I had to get used to saying ‘blog’.

I prefer ‘blog’ to ‘weblog’, precisely because weblog makes me think of web server logs.

I’m right with you in regard to the disphasia that results between serverlog and weblog. P.S. Mine now supports comments!

There’s a megawanker here in Canada named Jesse Hirsch who insistently mispronounces the word as “bee-log” on TV.
