ohmy or oh my
The latest issue of the New Yorker has an article about citizen journalism and discusses, in part, OhmyNews -- the organization that hosted me at the International Citizen Reporters' Forum in Seoul last month. I haven't quite yet decided what I think about the article, except that:
- it was surprisingly unfocused and dull for a New Yorker piece; and
- I can't figure out why the copy editors decided to refer to the organization as "Oh My News" when its official name is clearly OhmyNews.
The "Oh" in OhmyNews, by the way, is a reference to the founder's name, Oh Yeon Ho, and not to the English expression "Oh My". (In case you were wondering.)
Hee hee...I didn't know that's why it was called that. I always treated it as "Oh my! News!"
