fair enough Dominic Send a noteboard - 02/06/2010 12:09:12 AM
but that would require me to a) give a shit and b) actually want to put some sort of effort into this...


Besides, I get mocked enough as it is...

Excruciatingly painful minutia of my life Dominic - 02/06/2010 12:00:19 AM 538 Views
It isn't funny without the actual details. LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 12:05:25 AM 304 Views
fair enough Dominic - 02/06/2010 12:09:12 AM 370 Views
Oh, c'mon! LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 12:13:22 AM 251 Views
It's "minutiae" - otherwise it's in the singular. *NM* Tom - 02/06/2010 12:36:54 AM 126 Views
Not really. The English usage/spelling of the word is minutia. LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 12:44:06 AM 255 Views

oh, pooh damookster - 02/06/2010 12:55:13 AM 249 Views
I'd say "stadia" and "podia" if for some reason I were inclined to make those words plural. Tom - 02/06/2010 05:00:53 AM 278 Views
I didn't say that they were the same usage rules. LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 06:18:53 AM 278 Views
You're absolutely right, though, that people do not have gender. Tom - 02/06/2010 01:42:10 PM 273 Views
Don't people have both gender (social construct) and sex (biological fact)? *NM* Ghavrel - 02/06/2010 11:25:36 PM 131 Views
No, people do not have a gender. LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 12:16:18 AM 255 Views
Re: No, people do not have a gender. TaskmasterJack - 03/06/2010 12:20:39 AM 241 Views
No, I know they aren't interchangeable. Ghavrel - 03/06/2010 04:24:36 AM 263 Views
I'm quite sure they decided to invent that construct. LiterateDog - 03/06/2010 04:35:03 AM 245 Views
The OED doesn't give any example of "minutia" being used as plural. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/06/2010 12:53:23 AM 112 Views
I didn't consult the OED. I feel sad for you that you felt the need to do so. LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 12:58:12 AM 463 Views
I think the point is that most people use "minutiae" and never use the singular. Legolas - 02/06/2010 01:02:22 AM 240 Views
Of course it has more entries. LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 01:12:31 AM 249 Views
let me see if I've got this.... damookster - 02/06/2010 01:23:55 AM 435 Views
You won't be laughing when I release that licking sex picture to the mediums! LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 01:27:39 AM 273 Views
What will the mediums do? Commune with the ghost of Buddy Holly to get his opinion? *NM* TaskmasterJack - 02/06/2010 01:43:35 AM 121 Views
Psychic broadcast to the whole world I bet. LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 01:52:44 AM 226 Views
You leave Buddy Holly out of this! Joel - 02/06/2010 03:02:19 AM 242 Views
No, the Big Bopper. You know it's him when he says "Hello, baby!" *NM* Tom - 02/06/2010 05:16:57 AM 97 Views
Pronunciation in Latin BlackAdder - 02/06/2010 03:15:10 AM 269 Views
It's not the Latin pronunciation I was wondering about. Legolas - 02/06/2010 10:14:35 AM 247 Views
Yeah BlackAdder - 03/06/2010 12:23:33 AM 247 Views
I'm a classics student. Consulting dictionaries is beyond habit and approaching compulsion. Ghavrel - 02/06/2010 02:08:45 AM 265 Views
A sex addiction would be much more pleasurable compulsion, y'know. LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 02:32:51 AM 387 Views
The two aren't mutually exclusive, just kinky. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/06/2010 04:09:50 AM 122 Views
I think you should use the OED to find out the definition of kinky. LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 04:25:32 AM 272 Views
You don't think a dictionary fetish is kinky? Buddy, I don't think I'm the one needing the OED. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/06/2010 05:20:55 AM 127 Views
Bitch, that ain't kinky. It's just....odd. *NM* LiterateDog - 02/06/2010 06:28:25 AM 106 Views
Furries are also odd (but still kinky). *NM* lyringlas - 02/06/2010 02:41:29 PM 118 Views
Odd is too normal a word to describe furries. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/06/2010 11:26:47 PM 129 Views
Kinky odd. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/06/2010 11:26:08 PM 125 Views
Re: I'm a classics student. Consulting dictionaries is beyond habit and approaching compulsion. BlackAdder - 02/06/2010 04:58:28 AM 258 Views
It may surprise you to learn that not all of my friends are classics students. Ghavrel - 02/06/2010 05:21:24 AM 224 Views
The other thing is that people don't know how to pronounce the difference between the two. BlackAdder - 02/06/2010 03:12:10 AM 231 Views
