There is only one letter I in Irish; but i is undotted in the traditional uncial Gaelic script to avoid confusion of the tittle with the buailte overdot found over consonants. Modern texts replace the buailte with a h, and use the same antiqua-descendant fonts, which have a tittle, as other Latin-alphabet languages. However, bilingual road signs use dotless i in lowercase Irish text to better distinguish i from í.

That would be tittlelessness.
No truth In that at all, just tIttle tattle.
So those people who never manage to get the dot over the i are tittlelaters?
I'm dotless.
It's also the word for the dot on the letter "i."
Knowledge to the certainty of which no authority could add, or take away, one jot or tittle. — Huxley
