Where dj'a get this spelling from

Reading back issues of the Word Maven, now defunct, from tsuwm's archives link on his site. [I even found one question posed by tsuwm himself--and there may be more!] Keep in mind: I have limitless time on my hands since we're out of school due to ice storms, so I'm in word heaven till we return.

This was worth the wait! Marshmelooze would make a great name for a cat, cats are so flexible and sweet!
