mentioned in A Little Bit Of Knowledge.
The recent trade has made this speculation a mute point...
I don't remember whether I've posted this before, but a lot of these things have to do with hearing something not-quite-correctly and incorporating that into written language. In this case, figuring that the speaker said the word "mute" instead of the non-word "moot" would seem to make sense on the surface.
Do you have examples of this you come across?
