Ack, I didn't realize. :(
But Sockdologer is the alternate spelling,
which was more appealing to me.

The correct spelling would be "Sockdologer." There is the famous line (famous because it was Booth's chosen cue for the shooting) in "Our American Cousin," about a "sockdologizing mantrap." The word is meant to be a comical corruption of "doxologizing." Since one of the root words is "logos," it's clear that the name "Sockdologer" should be spelled with an "o."
