One comment on “Morphology: How are words formed?” by Corrine McCarthy. She says that “WTF” is an acronym when I think it is an initialism. An acronym is a word made from the letters whereas an initialism is not a word. Nobody says wft (weuft), they say W-T-F (double-you tee eff). One could even argue that LOL is not an acronym because most people say “el oh el,” not lol (as in lolly pop).

Also, on the color scheme–contrary to many others, I do like it currently. Light text on a dark background is much easier to look at.

As for the white-on-black layout, I personally would prefer something easier on the eyes, but this is of course a matter of taste.

My main point concerns the architecture of the site, which struck me as somewhat random and unorganized. The many tabs with their respective sub-tabs (the existence of which I didn’t notice until after a while) made me lose my way entirely, not knowing what to find where or to what categories the contributions were supposed to belong. Along with the fact that the articles are not dated (on which I strongly second Eve’s suggestion above), I fear that the appearance of future issues will only add to this confusion.

So if I may summarize, I would say that the idea is great, but for the magazine to rejoice a broad audience and gain future potential as a respected contribution to the field of popular linguistics, some logistic refurbishing is definitely required.
