Jack, thanks for the plug. I started Nonplussed in no small part because I enjoyed your site so much. Not to gush, but I do think blogs play an important role in the national debate -- and they sure are fun!

So it turns out ridding my blogroll of the dastardly Sullivan was productive both qualitatively and karmically. Good deal. Thanks Jack.

thanks for the link, though whenever you can find the time please fix the title. It's "Dormouse", not "Dormhouse" and it's a Dodgson reference.

markus--
Apologies for misreading the name, and for missing the reference. I'm afraid you've discovered only one of the many lacunae I struggle so manfully to conceal.

no apologies necessary, you are not the first. It's seems to happen to a lot of people* and hey, who I'm I to complain anyway.

* since the words are near-homophones (sound-alikes) and near homographs (spell-alikes) and have the same semantic root (dormire=to sleep) frequency of occurrence is likely the culprit. (Ok, maybe the semantic reference to sleep is more obvious in "dormhouse", which is not really a word, but a compound of two real words, while the "dormouse" dropped the second m, making it harder to see the connection)
Without checking the database, I'd guess that dormhouse is rather familiar to most Americans, while small rodents are not. The error then is ultimately with me, since -as a foreigner- I happen to be far more familiar with the work of Dodgson than the whole "dormitory culture" and hence "dormouse" is more frequent for me.

Thanks for the nod, Jack!
