Tangential comment but only after reading your post I realised that acoup is an acronym for the blog's full name. All this time I thought it was "a coup" (like a coup d'état) and that "A Collection of Unusual Pedantry" was the blog's tagline.

“acoup” is also old french and middle english word along the lines of blow, strike, hit, overcome. Id always assumed it was the historic word myself.
