" i " Trivia

Sorry no cards to share today although was busy making some on the weekend.  If I share though I know I will spoil the surprise for some people as they visit my blog.

So instead I have a little trivia to share.

Hubby and I were chatting about things and in conversation he asked what the name is for the dot above the ' i '.  He was sure it had a name.  I was thinking it is just part of the 'i'  so of course had to google.  Can you believe it it does have a name the dot is called a 'tittle'.

tit·tle  (ttl)
n.
1. A small diacritic mark, such as an accent, vowel mark, or dot over an i.
2. The tiniest bit; an iota.

  5. Thanks for commenting on my tags! I've enjoyed making them and hope to finish out the 24. Just uploaded another. It's COLD here and we had to move all my paints, inks, markers, tapes, and glues back to the house so they wouldn't freeze last night! By the way, I've noticed that Tim Holtz uses bling to put the tittle over the j and i on some of his tags! Have a MERRY Christmas! :)
