Not to nitpick, but it's "a moot point".
Fun fact, the word "moot" has the same origin as "meet". A "moot point" was originally "something that has to be discussed and decided at a meeting" (like a town hall or similar). Thus there was no sense in discussing it, since it was up to the meeting to decide. Also, scouts still call their congregations "a moot".
- pjmlp 7y agoThanks for the correction. <small rant mode> Nowadays I have two sources of errors when writing. My own lack of knowledge, or incorrect knowledge, and then the stupid auto corrections that just go down the drain due to me mostly typing across multiple languages. </small rant mode> So whatever caused it, thanks again.
