===Minuscule=== {{redirect|Minuscule}} '''Minuscule''' refers to lower-case letters. The word is often spelled ''miniscule'', by association with the unrelated word ''miniature'' and the prefix ''mini-''. That has traditionally been regarded as a spelling mistake (since ''minuscule'' is derived from the word ''minus''<ref name="Lewis 1890" />), but is now so common that some [[dictionaries]] tend to accept it as a non-standard or variant spelling.<ref name="AHD 2000" /> ''Miniscule'' is still less likely, however, to be used in reference to lower-case letters.
