I learned a new term today: feetnote, when your footnote gets longer than your actual post. I got a good laugh out of this footnote eh feetnote which I found on 2022 in review, part 2 • Kwon.nyc.

    @V_ I've always wondered, if its footnotes or feetnote. Like Attorneys General

    @pratik, now I'm unsure – but I think the correct plural form is footnotes, and the "feetnote" was a joke due to the length or is it an official term in English? And it is funny, and it is now the second time this year that I stumbled over the "Attorneys General" example this year.

    @V_ It was a joke ☺️ The feetnote, that is

    @pratik, I'm relieved – thanks for the clarification.
