I did grow up in the South.

Excruciatingly painful minutia of my life

It's "minutiae" - otherwise it's in the singular. *NM*

Not really. The English usage/spelling of the word is minutia.

I'd say "stadia" and "podia" if for some reason I were inclined to make those words plural.

I didn't say that they were the same usage rules.

Don't people have both gender (social construct) and sex (biological fact)? *NM*

No, people do not have a gender.

The OED doesn't give any example of "minutia" being used as plural. *NM*

I didn't consult the OED. I feel sad for you that you felt the need to do so.

I think the point is that most people use "minutiae" and never use the singular.

You won't be laughing when I release that licking sex picture to the mediums!

What will the mediums do? Commune with the ghost of Buddy Holly to get his opinion? *NM*

I'm a classics student. Consulting dictionaries is beyond habit and approaching compulsion.

A sex addiction would be much more pleasurable compulsion, y'know.

The two aren't mutually exclusive, just kinky. *NM*

I think you should use the OED to find out the definition of kinky.

You don't think a dictionary fetish is kinky? Buddy, I don't think I'm the one needing the OED. *NM*

Bitch, that ain't kinky. It's just....odd. *NM*

The other thing is that people don't know how to pronounce the difference between the two.
