The first best thing about allmusic guide today is that they are now yelling at you if you don’t use IE for windows. The second best thing is their contact us page.

Greek this, dumbasses.

Yeah. My next quest is to find out where the term "greeking" came from. Maybe just because omg greek is so hard?

Pretty much every noun can be verbed these days. I don't know quite when it happened, but it's been happening for a while now.

Greeking is an old term, though. I can't find out how old because trying to search for it just gets me about 5,000 blog people rediscovering the lipsum text and patting themselves on the back.

I am a genius!

Maybe [livejournal.com profile] loremipsum can help us get to the bottom of all this.

while technically it is derived from latin, it is generally called "greeking" in my typesetting/fontography experience. ymmv.

Alas, I can't even complain to them about the lack of usability because their Contact us (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=32:amg/info_pages/a_contact.html) link for Usability issues (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=79:) is a usability issue in itself. ERROR 2: TIMEOUT. Weak.

NOTE TO ANY: MSIE IS HOLIER THAN MOTHER THERESA ON EASTER EATING SWISS CHEESE.

I shall now cry for my lost Argentina.
