Have you ever wondered where and how certain sayings came about? Down to a Tee is a well known one.
According to http://www.word-detective.com/2011/05/to-a-t/ this is the explanation (I’ve abbreviated it a little):
To a T” or “to a tee,” meaning “exactly, precisely, perfectly” is an older expression dating all the way back to the late 17th century.
The “T” in “to a T” was probably originally short for a word beginning with “T,” and the word considered most likely is “tittle,” meaning “a very small part of something” or “a very small amount.”
“Tittle” is, etymologically, actually the same word as “title” (as of a book), but “tittle” developed the special sense early on of “a small stroke in print or writing,” such as the dot over an “i,” a cross mark on a “t” or an accent mark. From there “tittle” moved on to being used to mean anything very, very small. “Jot” also means “a tiny mark or amount,” and was also originally used to mean a small mark made with a pen...
The root of “jot,” is the Greek word “iota,” which was the equivalent of our Arabic “I” and the smallest letter in the Greek alphabet. And because you can, evidently, never have enough words for “nearly nothing,” we still use the word “iota” to mean “a tiny amount” (“We will not part with one iota of our privileges,” 1863).
Incidentally, the proverbial admonition “be sure to cross your t’s and dot your i’s,” meaning to double-check all the details of your work, is a neat illustration of the progress of “tittle,” “jot” and “iota” from literal use in handwriting to their modern figurative uses.
So “to a T,” meaning “just right,” is actually a shortened form of “to a tittle,” meaning that something is correct down to the smallest point. And when we say “jot and tittle,” also meaning “to the smallest detail,” we are, yes, being a bit redundant, since “jot” and “tittle” mean the same thing.”
THE CACHE
So, about this cache, it is located at (close enough anyway) a T-junction. And if you looked at the roof lines in satellite imagery mode they also make a kind of T where they meet the fence. There is another kind of ‘half’ T or right angle here near the closest of the 2 larger trees. This is where you’ll find the object of your search. (There is no tree climbing required.) To keep the game going for all, please return it to this spot and nowhere else.
BYO pen and please ensure that the lid is secure before returning it to its hiding place.
So how nonchalant can you be when searching for this cache?
I love reading your logs, but do keep spoilers out of it so that others coming after you can have the same fun looking for it.
