Dave,
I'm not an expert, not even a professional technical writer. Just a
humble masters degree student of technical communication. (Sorry guys.)
Your question is a welcomed break in this taut thread. As readers will
do, I assumed?assumed the word meant "revisited." But the definition of
"re" - again or back - plus "dux" - duke - opens new vistas. How about
"let's put up our dukes again and again."
Sorry, I couldn't help it.
