jot and tittle

Every minor detail. A jot is the horizontal mark on the letter "t", and a tittle is the dot above an "i" or a "j".

When writing cursive, these marks are made after the entire word is penned, sometimes causing one to overlook their placement.
Be sure to go over every jot and tittle.
