Trivia on 'trivia'

In ancient Rome, a trivium was an intersection of three roads (tri, "three" + vium, road).

According to the Romans, when people met at a trivium, they would discuss trivialis ("inconsequential things") - which eventually helped give trivia its modern meaning.

Who/Whom

If you can answer the question with "him" then you use ‘whom.’ --> they both end in ‘m’.

If you can answer the question with “he,” use ‘who.’

-Whom are you going to the concert with?
-I'm going with him.

-Who broke the toaster?
-He did.

Plural: criteria, data, agenda

Singular: criterion, datum, agendum

Evidence shows that 'criteria,' data,' and 'agenda' are frequently being used as a singular as well as a plural so go with your gut.

Around 1700, English gained the verb 'cop,' meaning "to get hold of, catch, capture."

By the mid-1800s, 'cop' is recorded in print as being used to refer to what police do to criminals.

Police were then called ‘coppers’...one who ‘cops.’

'Copper' was then shortened to 'cop.'

The phrase ‘just deserts’ has only one S.

It has nothing to do with desserts 🧁or deserts 🏜️.

The word ‘desert’ is spelled like🏜️ and pronounced like🧁.

It's related to ‘deserve’ and means “reward or punishment deserved or earned by one’s qualities or acts.”
