Thanks
bizgirl, for showing me the way to the answer to
that difficult question "What is the origin of the word
dooce?". Dooce was the nickname of the first known blogger to
get fired for blogging about work. It was her nickname because she kept mistyping
dude in her emails.

no worries. nothing like a reference challenge. ;)
I did actually find those two websites much earlier on, but I didn't bother to look more closely at Dooce.com until you brought it up - and it had the answer after all. Glad to see that blogging isn't getting in the way of your job skills then.
heh. yes. I do like to keep my reference skills up to speed, at least.
So now we know the etymology but she says "Dooce is pronounced like DEUCE"
ARRGH! Damn Yankees, larn to speak proper!
There's no point though, in getting as precious about the English language as the French haves always been about theirs.
