Geoff,
Sorry that my little attempt at humour got you so riled up. I was only
trying to lighten up the turgid debate involving the C word. I did
look up redux in my Oxford English Encyclopedic - not there. I
stretched over for my Gage Canadian - not there. My Webster's was just
out of reach and I didn't feel like stretching any further on such a
lighthearted mission. If a word is not in the other two it generally
means it is only used by a few people in a small area of the world
(dive dive dive - flame alert).
BTW, I have heard of that Updike guy, didn't he write a book about
rabbits?
Updike wrote a book called Rabbit Redux, which I believe is a kind of
Cajun rabbit gumbo served on a bed of dirty rice. From this we can
surmise the true meaning of the word. :-)
