What the O?

Melburnian vs Melbournian

Not really a great debate.

Melbourne residents are often referred to as Melburnians or Melburnite’s and in both these the terms the “o” has been dropped. When trying to land upon an alias that felt right for my social networking accounts I knew Melbourne had to be in the title and that there are a few melbourne girls out there blogging at the moment. I settled upon melbourniangirl (even if the girl part might be considered a stretch) as I just preferred how it looked with the ‘o’ still in it. I tried a few times sans ‘o’ but in the end decided its my blog right? A place for me to be, well, me? O and all.
