Tittle: Typography Terms #1
Definition:
tittle : the dot over i or j
Example Sentence:
Make sure you tittle your i’s and cross your t’s.
Origin:
Tittle comes from the Latin titulus, which originally meant “title.” Titulus came to refer to marks such as the abbreviated form of n written over a vowel (like the Spanish tilde, which indirectly got its name from titulus), and then to any mark above a letter.
