[Arthur McGowan]

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."

Just wondering:
If nothing is clear, then is it clearly nothing?
And is "log" the root of "logarithm" (birth control for a Catholic lumberjack)?
