| Not according to Oxford Dictionaries they aren't: "Looking at the Corpus, we've discovered that the spelling miniscule now makes up around 52% of the total use of the word. This includes examples in printed sources such as newspapers and periodicals as well as in chatrooms or unedited personal blogs. But even though the spelling miniscule is slightly more frequent, it hasn't yet become accepted as standard English and you should still treat it as an error to be avoided." http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/minuscule-or-miniscule |
