   I thought “tittle” was the little laugh I made when I heard words like “tittle.”

   Wikipedia claims a broader definition for the term ‘tittle’.

   Tittles must be the aglets of languages.

   I care not one jot nor tittle for this fact.

   I went looking for definitions of jot to see if it was related in some way, and found:

   Jot
   or Iota, the smallest letter of the Greek alphabet, used metaphorically or proverbially for the smallest thing (Matt. 5:18); or it may be = yod, which is the smallest of the Hebrew letters.

   So an i is a jot and a tittle.

   I did know that because my last name is Tittel! And everyone misspells it Tittle…
