While I already gave my opinion of the best OUPblog posts of the year, it’s only fair to see what you the reader decided. Here’s our top ten posts according to the number of pageviews they received.
(10) “Olympic confusion in North and South Korea flag mix-up” by Jasper Becker
(9) “Five GIFers for the serious-minded” by Alice Northover
(8) “Seduction by contract: do we understand the documents we sign?” by Oren Bar-Gill
(7) ““Remember, remember the fifth of November”” by Daniel Swift
(6) “Puzzling heritage: The verb ‘fart’” by Anatoly Liberman
(5) “The seven myths of mass murder” by J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D.
(4) “Oh Dude, you are so welcome” by Anatoly Liberman
(3) “How New York Beat Crime” by Franklin E. Zimring
(2) “Oxford Dictionaries USA Word of the Year 2012: ‘to GIF’” by Katherine Martin
And the number one blog post of the year is…
(1) “SciWhys: Why do we eat food?” by Jonathan Crowe
And I thought it would be interesting to note that our eleventh most popular blog post of 2012 is actually from 2009. People still enjoy arguing about unfriending.
