When I was a kid, Dad was reading a newspaper, and told me a newspaper was going to stop doing this to save money, but I can't find anything about it, and Dad's gone now.

A newspaper without dots is just folded pieces of blank paper.

So... the act of dotting an "I" is tittillating?

Sometimes it's a matter of the type block being broken or damaged.

It's pretty easy to get your tittle twisted.

Middle age kid determined his school could save over 10k in printing costs simply by changing to a font that uses less ink. I think he contacted the US government and found they'd save a number of millions of dollars annually simply by changing default font.

But i think this is probably your dad messing with you

Just like the dot on the tip of a boob is called a Nipple.

And the cross on the T, in particular, the lower case t, is called a jot. The old saying "every little jot and tittle" was the precursor of "dotting your Is and crossing your Ts", meaning: to pay attention to the details when filing paperwork.

Pints and quarts, referring to alcohol, and the idea one should not drink too much.
Why are pounds and ounces abbreviated "lbs" and "oz"?
