Moot Point Day

About
This Date
During the Middle Ages, people argued with battle axes instead of words.
If they could agree to discuss something at a meeting, the meeting was called a "mod". Moot is just an updated version of that old English word. A moot (meeting) point was a question that was open to debate. In the 1800s, people started to use the word to mean “of no significance or relevance.” Today, a moot point, no matter how long you discuss it, is considered something that has no practical value.
