Click of the week

by Jacob Shafer

November 27, 2008

You've got to love it when a person takes some obscure, arbitrary, awesomely nitpicky thing and makes it his personal cause célèbre. Take, for example, bitchen.com, an amalgamation of intermittently amusing essays, articles and tidbits collected by some dude named Ric Johnson. What makes the site click worthy is its central goal: to change the spelling of the word "bitchin'," replacing the second "i" with an "e" and getting rid of the apostrophe. An entire section is dedicated to this pressing linguistic issue; there's even a fake document from a Civil War-era solider "using" the alternate spelling to describe a bank building back in the 1860s. Pretty bitchen.  –JS
