Now, was this fantastic satire, or based on
truth? A quick check
of our article reveals not only that it's truth, but also where
Dowd got her facts from.
To be fair, there are only so many ways you can give a list of names
together with their meanings. They should cite sources (to avoid
circular references, if nothing else), but I don't see a copyright
violation.
I don't see one, either -- I was sincere about calling it flattery.
I'm delighted that we happened to be able to give her not only
the facts but also -- more or less -- the wording she needed for
her story.
