The General Corporation Law cannot address every “jot and tittle”, but it is nevertheless surprising that it does not at least provide a ready answer to these and other fundamental questions.
What’s an “i” without a tittle?
The expression “jot and tittle” is derived from a Hebrew letter, yod, and a Hebrew pen stroke, a qots. Both are small and hence the expression refers to very small things. The English word for qots is “tittle” which is derived from the Latin word titulus. A qots is a stroke or mark over a Hebrew letter. “Tittle” now usually refers to the dot over the letter “i”. An “i” is not dotted, it is tittled.
