Thanks @grammarnazi!

That's my wife's passion and reason for living.
She's an ESL (English as a Second Language for those who don't know) who went to school for linguistics. She lives and breathes for correctness.
Twitter just about killed her with how it got people used to shortforming everything
Me, I'm more of an intent kind of guy. You know what I mean, then its all good
Could be why i have to edit my posts 5 or 6 times even after proofreading twice before hitting the submit button.
LOL
Generally both formats are acceptable unless you're talking about physical type. "Minuscule" was the original formulation in the printing industry, but as a metaphor "miniscule" has become more and more popular and most people don't care that it doesn't reflect the original meaning. (Or even know the original meaning.)
