There's a blog I like to visit, albatross necktie, that does not invite comments. No, it invites antiphonists. Being anti a lot of things , I must confess that I lend a comment now and then. I guess that makes me an antiphonist which I accepted until now. I am anti- cell phone - but antiphonist? It almost sounds pornographic. I finally got off my ass and consulted a dictionary to find out exactly what an antiphonist is.
It turns out that an antphon is a verse or song to be chanted or sung in response. I surmised therefore that an antiphonist is someone who is responsive. Being the mental giant that I am , I also concluded that an antphonist can indeed be someone who comments on a blog posting. What bothers me is that to be a true antiphonist I must learn to make my comments sound like a psalm utterance. Unless I learn to phrase my comments like a chant I will remain a boring commentator instead of an antiphonist.
Hmmmm, _ _ _ _, Ahhhmennnn!
If there are any antphonists out there your chants are welcome.
