(cutaia),

No, actually, and I don't think that word means what you think it means. Semantics denotes word selection, and the connotations thereof. There's a significant difference between a "year end wrap up" (and if that's what it is, call a spade a spade) and a "best of" series.

The former implies aggregate (e.g. Here is a list of the things we wrote in February), while the latter implies a qualitative value judgment (e.g. Here is a list of THE BEST things we wrote in February). They don't mean the same thing in the least, which is what your "that's just semantics" comment seems to imply.

Allison,

A fair point, to be sure; it was a busy year at the start. However that's a beast of a textwall to read through. Kudos to you for reading and responding to reader feedback though.
