Unless you're living in the early 1900s, "make do" is correct for today's English.
Yeah looks like I may be wrong about "make do" being incorrect. Didn't know the spelling was changed in the 40s. I've always seen it written as "due". Seems like an odd word to use though. Wouldn't due make more sense? Like you're able to meet the dues that are required?
Conversely, I've only ever seen "make do" used.
"Make due" would make sense to me in the context where debt is a factor, for example, "make due on rent".
It doesn't make sense when you apply that meaning to how the sentence was written in this article.
Good point on the difference in context. I guess that's how I've seen it used mostly.
I see the correct form as 'make-do', which implies makeshift solutions or workarounds.
make it do the thing it's supposed to do.
Oh Geez. I didn't know this until just now?
I learned so much by reading literature... but I guess the idioms and spellings have moved on since they were written and I need to keep up.
While writing this angry comment, did you stop to consider that maybe they did their job right and you're wrong?

Frustrating, but thank you for the link.
Ironically, they spelled Internet as internet.
