For a few years we have been writing lists.
The list has evolved over these years from a simple collection of literary instances separated by a comma, to what we now might know as a listicle. This blog is about listicles. Specifically ones with 22 entries.
The listicle: a conflation of the terms list and article. Invented in the early nineteen-hundreds, the listicle became understood as a list with sufficient verbiage, permitting it to article standard, and became very popular in magazines and the like. After having previously been emperor over many a successful blog, in particular one involving many listicles of 25 units that subsequently spawned the amassed love of the sort. And I mean, it was an international internet sensation of which I was the undisputed creator. But to continue: After being said blog emperor, I took a nirvanesque blog hiatus and have now come back to show the world how to write a list.
I shall start your list education with a list of rules about this blog.
