I’m not usually much of a grammar nazi. I usually give folks the benefit of the doubt, since we all make typos or brain farts, and if I can understand you and you understand me, that’s all we need.
But for some reason this particular mistake irks me to no end. It exes me. And I’ve noticed an increase in frequency around here.
So as a public service:
Cite is short for Citation, an independent confirmation of fact.
Site is either short for Website, (i.e. a document available via http or similar protocol) or refers to an actual location in space.
Sight is something that is seen. It is not the same as either of the above.
Thank you.
(And I know it’s coming so I’ll make the jokes myself: the next three posts will most likely be: “Cite?” “Sight?” and “Site?”)
