Background / Comments
I do love words (and learning), and that’s why I do this blog, even if it never has a large following. I do this for my enjoyment as much as anything else. The word comes from the Greek words logos (word; speech; saying) and philos (good friend). If I had slowed down a bit, I would have seen “logo” instead of “log” and probably had the definition correct.
