Well-Blogged?
We don't say of a knowledgeable oenophile that he is well-drunk.
We don't say of a skilled carpenter that she is well-built.
We don't say of an inspired musician that he is well-played.
We don't say of a talented chef that she is well-cooked.
So why do we say of someone who has consumed lots of good books that she is well-read?
That's the kind of thing I wonder about when I should be working.
Maybe Languagehat would know?
