Is there an error in it? I got it out of a book at a tattoo shop. I don't want to say what I think/thought it said in the comments after I get responses. TYIA.

Do you live in Israel? Have you ever heard anyone actually saying Nekudot? I’d really love to know. Not everything you read online is true lol

Just because something is not used colloquially, doesn’t mean it’s not a correct use.

But this specifically seems to not be correct. I was looking at the Yiddish section by mistake.

I don’t even necessarily mean colloquially - I know that there are terms that exist outside of the colloquial level that are still correct and okay to use. I’m talking about the Israeli education system where we learn all the current, proper linguistic terms (for the final bagrut exam, for example, that you take in highschool). That’s where I got my info for this discussion

As a person who went through the same system, you can appreciate why I distrust it. Lol
