But I discovered i was incorrect. It is - but it has nothing to do with death (die) or coloring (dye).

If you are dieing something, you are cutting or stamping it with a die, which is a device used for cutting, forming, or engraving metals. It is a process used in machining, and your local town may even have a “tool and die shop,” which would make extensive use of the process.

He also used 'Alex' instead of 'Alec'






'Alex'

'whose'

'dieing'

Maybe Hope was his spellchecker?
