As an example of the new pricing plan, suppose you posted an entry to your blog reading, ?I had a cheese sandwich for lunch today. Then, I got behind the slowest woman in the grocery-store line! Grrrr!? By my count (TypeKey will handle the sentence diagramming automatically in MT3.0014d), this entry contains 6 adjectives/adverbs, 4 nouns, 3 articles, 2 passive verbs, 2 pronouns, 2 prepositions, and 1 interjection. Therefore, under the new license, your entry would cost a grand total of 84¢
— no matter how many blogs or authors you have! Now, that‘s not so bad, is it? —Six Apart announces more changes to Movable Type license (Apropos of Something)
Don’t worry, it’s just a joke.

You do have to take some of us a little slower than others. I read this and shouted “Huh!!” outloud, until I read the part about it being a joke. Stranger things have happened, so new pricing plans are not outside of the realm of possibility for me.
