TopHouse Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 OK, it's getting on my nerves now, so, is it 'reticle' or 'reticule' or both?In astro stuff I've always seen it spelt 'reticle', but from my forces days with firearms and also online gaming it's usually 'reticule' and I've always called it 'reticule' until I got into astro, so now I'm confused!

robbieince Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 My bid is for reticule (from my concise oed ) with the Latin reticulum. Network of fine threads or lines in focal plane of optical instrumentSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steppenwolf Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I always spell it reticule but I think this is the 'English' English variant rather than the 'American' English variant - historically this MUST be correct then ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizibilder Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Could we have "septic variant" as a rank? That would be so cool!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
