Love your site but I am sure that is not the correct spelling of minuscule.

That is the correct spelling of miniscule. I looked it up on the internet, since I was already on my computer and I didn't want to look foolish.

'Miniscule' and 'minuscule' are both correct. Minuscule is far less common, though, but 'minuscule' is used in French, which may be why you thought 'miniscule' is wrong.

Yeah, I did notice that. I was looking all over for the paper archives and actually gave up thinking it was in fact an April fool's joke...
