The question of the proper spelling of doofus is a good one. I would not have
thought about it being spelled dufus. Doofus looks right, IMHO. I vote for
that one! g
While we're on this topic, I had an occasion to attempt to spell diffugeldy
and found myself trying to spell a word I'd heard often and knew full well its
definition, but previously had never tried to spell it! Has anyone else on
the list heard this term which refers to messed up, snafu'd, and so on, but
with a note of whimsy. "That's all diffugeldy" or "It's all diffugeldy"
