Blogging as individuals writing = not dead
Individuals with their own branded/hosted sites = on the deathbed
Your using medium as the platform seems to prove your point!

I studied linguistics in school and was fascinated by the linguistic shifts in Germanic languages long ago. But it seems a shame for it to be happening now as pronunciation becomes homogenized.
