Dear AnnaS,

Where did I hear it? Well, I didn't hear it. I read it. I take my kids through "Peter and the Wolf" once every six years. Every grade level. Then I don't have to listen to it again for another six years. It's a terrible thing, somehow, to think a child never heard "Peter and the Wolf," although I tend to stick with more abstract or straight orchestral music without a story.

Anyway, this is the week for "Peter and the Wolf." And, while my kids are listening, I read a desk edition of the OED as any word nerd would. And while reading through the "d's" I saw "duologue" and thought what a dumb word. I'd never heard anybody using it and sure hadn't read it, but I'm willing to be better informed, as all good word nerds are.

So, I thought I'd ask y'all if you'd heard or read it. I figured if this bunch of, if not word nerds, word hounds didn't toss it around, then at least I wasn't alone.

And that, dear ASp, is that.

Best regards,
WW

P.S. Faldage: Very brief definition there on your Bartleby link. Just about the briefest possible. Is this now a triologue?
