Holidays are a time for reflection and appraisal of priorities. As already noted this morning, I have added some new glossary items today, but this led me to wonder if the glossary is a good use of my time now it has been going for about three months. So, two polls:
Is the glossary to this blog useful?
- Yes (82%, 71 Votes)
- No (8%, 7 Votes)
- Please just show me the answers (6%, 5 Votes)
- What glossary? (5%, 4 Votes)
Total Voters: 87

Have you used this blog’s glossary?
- Yes, a bit (59%, 51 Votes)
- Not a lot (21%, 18 Votes)
- Yes, a lot (7%, 6 Votes)
- No, not really (7%, 6 Votes)
- Not at all (6%, 5 Votes)
Total Voters: 86

You have an energy for writing each day which could make you a newspaper journalist. Regarding your question I think Betteridge’s law applies.

I haven’t made much use of your glossary, but I know it’s there when I need it.
Yesterday’s post, Interest, profits, savings and growth, and why the Bank of England is trashing the economy by pushing rates up was rewarding for a non-economist like me.
So, your overall project of ‘posts plus glossary’ brings clarity, explanation and integrity. Brilliant – and so, so necessary.
The way you have illustrated the power of the concept of ‘double entry bookkeeping’ has been revelatory – clearing up some of those mysteries of ‘Who benefits? and ‘Why?’ It seems to me, though, that few of our politicians have really been clued up. Mostly they appear to have been bludgeoned by bankers, press magnates, the arms industry and oil companies from the US or wherever.
Another area of obscurity is that of slogans such as in, “How do we use ‘free market principles’ to maximise the opportunities a carbon-neutral future offers?” The ‘free-market’ looks more like the source of problems such as overheated seas (today’s news) than a realistic solution. [The above question is from the Conservative Environment Network.] If this nation is to play an effective role, we need more Conservatives with environmental – and financial – awareness.
Thanks
Intend to use it more than I do.
A two-line preamble to each entry rather than the present multi para one would make it more useable.
Am sure it is/will be a really valuable resource.
I am trying to make entries simpler now
