A Big Day
Upon logging into this site today, I received a notification saying someone actually registered to this site! My subscription base has doubled in one fell swoop!
Quite a big day for this site. This means from now on, a single subscriber can no longer double the number of subscribers. It will take two of ‘em!
BTW according to Wikipedia, here is the origin of One Fell Swoop.
The origin of the title “One Fell Swoop,” a phrase that has come to common usage in English, is Shakespeare’s Macbeth, in which the character Macduff, upon hearing that his family has been murdered, quoth[1]:
| “ | All my pretty ones?Did you say all?O hell-kite! All?
What, all my pretty chickens and their dam At one fell swoop? |
” |

On a related, but somewhat unrelated note, did you know Shakespeare also coined Accommodate and Accommodation? (spelling: remember it is two c’s, two m’s and two o’s)
On an even less related note, I remember reading about the origins of the term ‘coined’ in one of my William Safire books. If I’m not too lazy later, I’ll pull it out and tell you all about it.
I never knew you could subscribe - how do you do it?
Well, I believe it is the ‘Register’ link at the bottom of the right column. I am a newbie to blogging, so I don’t know exactly what that does.
