Articles I never expected to read in the Wall Street Journal...
I have a few minor nits, but the Wall Street Journal mostly got this article about convention naming terminology and practices right.
The article even mentions Fancyclopedia, and links to it on fanac.org.
Other terminology I never expected to see in the Wall Street Journal, let alone pretty much correctly used? "Relaxacons." I especially like the article's close:
"No matter the size of the gathering, con-goers are sure to find a convivial convergence of confederates."
Kudos to Ben Zimmer and his "Word on the Street" column.
