Re: Excuse me, Miss Pronunciation?

Make _due???_ Is the expression really "make due"? Perhaps the idiom was
adapted from a legal term that, not being an attorney, I'm not familiar
with. I thought (and have thought for over 60 years) that the expression was
"make do", as in make <whatever> _do_ <the task at hand>. Have I been wrong
all that time?
