Really? They could hardly have picked a worse name; the Doomsday Book is, very famously, a register of who owns what. It has absolutely nothing to do with emergency response or crisis management.
But the document that the name implies it should be, a register of who owns what, is not at all an unlikely thing for the Federal Reserve Bank to have.
- jjmarr 2y agoYou're thinking of the Domesday Book. It is admittedly the same word written in Middle English, but I think context+spelling is enough to distinguish it.

- SideQuark 2y agoIt is still currently spelled "Domesday book". Go ahead and try and find it via your incorrect spelling and post the link to us. Or maybe you're referring to the modern novels which are titled "Doomsday book"? For the record, when you misspell it as you insist on doing, the top hit is the correct spelling with a link to the correct version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesday_Book https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesday_Book. Actually pretty much every top hit is the correct spelling, which should give you the idea your misspelling is just that, a misspelling. Here's the Grammarist entry on the difference: https://grammarist.com/usage/doomsday-vs-domesday/ https://grammarist.com/usage/doomsday-vs-domesday/ That should make it clear to you. Instead of doubling down on your ignorance you could choose to learn when presented new knowledge.
