First off, this is a terrible name for a blog. The internet generation is generally daft, and also quite inept at the art of spelling. “Syllables” is a difficult word to spell. So no, this doesn’t work. However, the effort that the author put into this is commendable, and the fact that he chose it ahead of the original, much classier and easier to spell title, “Free Stuff”, shows a single-minded dedication to his craft.
The reason “Lost Syllables” was picked was because this blog is pretty much inspired by one song (as mentioned before), called “Oscar Acceptance Speech”. The phrase has been lifted from a lyric in the song, and the blog was initially created as a means of reviewing songs. But it’s unlikely that that will happen too often – changing moods, etc. And this entire (quite underwhelming) post has been created only to procrastinate the writing of the review of the song in question. In fact, this entire blog could probably use the writing of that review as a Godot-esque motif; a review which the author talks about obsessively, but it never quite appears. Let’s see how it goes.
Blog Title Rating: 1/10 (The very poetic character of the title deserves a high rating. However, since it’s been plagiarized, and that too without any real context, in addition to the fact that it uses a notoriously difficult word to spell, this title gets a score of only one – that too out of sympathy. Try harder.)
