I'm not completely comfortable with "usage problem" here. The second definition isn't "etymologically correct", but then what is? It's certainly current. If nothing else, it needs a little POV trimmed off) -dmh 06:49, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Usage Problem. A small insignificant fact, but still interesting. (Note: Refer above to the meaning of the suffix. It's ironic that the very definition of factoid has itself come to be a factoid.)

You mean this? I find the part between parantheses a bit odd to see here. 81.68.255.36 11:05, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is the second definition (‘An interesting item of trivia.’) used outside the US? 83.255.31.115 02:36, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
