I thought this was a neat piece of work. The researcher was innovative
enough to research alternative spellings of the target word when the
original spelling turned up nothing.

Answered my question entirely. Well done! Here's a dirty look from me
as promised for making me lose my bet. @)

Eh ... while it is thorough, I still maintain that "sliced bread" is
no big deal. People were slicing bread before commercial bread
processing (I should say high volume retail bread processing) and
before we had sandiwches there wasn't much need for sliced bread
anyway.

But my dad, scholar of many things and loser of many original
reference sources, insisted this to us very early on ... ah well, I'll
keep looking. Thanks.

(any one else has thoughts or answers, please contribute!)

Now 1.30am WST too tired to do justice to the amount of information
received, can't believe how quickly an answer was given. I have spent
the last 3 hours trying to find this. Thank you. Are we talking $US;
$Aust. ?

Nicely done.

The best $20 I ever spent!!. Mark is the best- give him a raise. You
saved my rear-end on this one. I'm forever a google user. If I had
spelled "Desmine" right it would have helped.  Thanks again, Bob
