A new word for me - tittle

The picture is beautiful. I know both words but have never needed to say or write "tittle" and only say "aglet" when I want to show off useless knowledge. I read a lot and come across odd words in some of the novels/series I read. When I don't know them, I do look them up.

No not in a long time.

Up until today, the only time I had heard tittle was in the context of the person Y.A. Tittle, a former professional (American) football player.

I can't think of any right now.

This picture is amazing! It's the first time I hear the word tittle. I knew the word aglet. Often I read weird Italian words in online newspapers, but not sure those are "acceptable" and included in the Italian dictionary. Journalists often invent words.

Not really other than anomaly from the Justice League cartoon series on television.

I haven't. I guess those two will have to do for new words.

Cool picture there lady. Interesting words. I love the English language.

Oh that’s a gorgeous photo! I’ve known “tittle” all my life thanks to the old King James Version of the Bible.

I have only ever heard of 'title-tattle' which I assume is nothing at all to do with dots at the top of letters! Beautiful photo

Beautiful photo - as usual! Not to brag, but I was aware of tittle and aglet. No new words that come to mind.

What a beautiful photo No, I have not encountered a new word lately.

Aglet has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. There was a Disney Children's show called Phineas and Ferb and they had a whole episode about aglets. So its stuck with me my whole life. lol

Unusual words. Well not really none I can think of Actually that's not true, I watch this silly quiz show and the other day 4 or 5 words cropped up that were all unusual and sadly I cannot recall what any of them were

I have so many words that I encountered which may seem unusual to me which I looked up in the dictionary since I'm not an english speaking person. We only learned this language in school. since it is our medium of instruction and generally considered our second language.

Knew aglet but not tittle

Lovely view, Never heard of tittle before. Interesting.

I have heard of "tittle-tattle" - refers to idle, trivial, or petty gossip and chatter. "Sure as hell" brings a wry smile as that is not funny!

That's a gorgeous photo. I've heard of aglet. Why not call a dot a dot? lol I run across words here from time to time that I have to look up. It's usually from someone in a foreign country.

That is a lovely photo taken by Vince. Many a times, random pics often become the most interesting ones. It is also interesting how language can give us names to even the smallest details that we barely notice. I have heard of “Aglet’ earlier but “tittle” is definitely new for me. I never in my wildest imagination could guess the little dot had a proper name. It makes you realise how precise and strange a language can be. One interesting word I have come across is sonder- realising every passerby has a complex life as our own. I love linguistic surprises. It is nice to lean. Well, languages can be full of hidden surprises and sometimes treasures!
