I'm going off topic here, but I just want you to know that this is the first time in months, maybe years, I've read the word "literally" used both correctly and not pedantically* and I'm all shaken up by it.

You may enjoy knowing that the singular of criteria is criterion (Greek, not Latin). A criterium is a bike race, from the same root: a κριτήριον is a decision, with the same nuance of meaning as English judg(e)ment.

Pedantophilia is illegal in 20 states, y'all.

Thanks! :)
