Pet peeve of the day: referring to posts or entries as "blogs" or "diaries" instead of "blog entries" or "diary posts," e.g. "I like that blog you posted today."

It seems this is becoming the standard usage so i'll probably have to get over myself, but in the meantime, i'll grumble in a curmudgeonly manner.

I'm with you on that. I use "post" for anything I write for lj, a mailing list, or a newsgroup (if I still participated in newsgroups), and some people say that's incorrect and I should use different terms, but blog vs. blog post makes sense to me.
