				            | Moot does not equal mute. Moot - as in what a cow says with a t on the end meaning obsolete. Mute - as in what a kitten says with a t on the end meaning unable to speak. Why is this so hard? I feel compelled to correct them when they use mute instead of moot. "That's a mute point" they say... and I want to ask if the point was verbal before or if this is something new.

				            | I'll gladly forgive mispronouncing as mute in exchange for the person using the word correctly. Admittedly there is the (mostly) British usage which is different from the mostly American usage but even with two different usages to choose from (and being almost opposite of each other) most people still use it wrong. |

				            | I know that's a popular one, but so long as the person doesn't spell it "axe" when they write it down I don't have a problem with "axe" any more than I do with Southerners droppin' Gs. |
