we have many stylists here - short, tall, skinny, fat, ugly and simply gorgeous.
How many stylists you want?

Pretty sure it's stylii!!

It would only be stylii if stylus was a Latin word... I don't ever recall learning that as a word at school though... I'm sticking with styluses...

Most households have boxes full of junk (I know mine has). Dig through them for a piece of plastic or wood (e.g. a stick for a icecone or plastic coffee stirrer) of the right thickness, cut it to size and use 2 component putty to fashion the knob at the end. Grind it and paint it black.

I did and you can barely see the difference.

Good thing the N900 uses a resistive touchscreen, easy to get replacement styluses. Not so easy to get replacement fingers for capacitive touchscreens :)

It seems to me that Fake, a very reputable member here, had a few styluses for sale -- he made them and is an excellent craftsman with very inexpensive prices. He has a long thread here regarding stands he manufactured, and he mentioned them a few times. Anyone missing a stylus might track him down and send him an email.

You sure it's not just curled up and dyed somewhere?:p

Re: I lost my stylist
 

This is a naive but typical question. The answer is that both forms are used. If you start a publication, you will probably establish something called a "style guide." In it, you will make CHOICES. You will decide what styles you support. When an issue comes up, you will describe the issue and how you decided to resolve it in the style guide. The reason you have a style guide is that inconsistent decisions on such matters can be jarring and distracting to readers.

I think "styluses" sounds less artificial and nerdy than "styli," so that's what I use and support.

There is no final answer, but I think that "styli" is going the way of the dodo bird.

I've got an extra one you can have. If you live in the US I can probably just drop it in an envelope
