Is this discussion referring to the English language? Until now i was using Zettel as the plural form of #zettel but am going to adapt this new convention.
I'm fine with anything, ha ha. But i am longing for a bit more common language for the forum. There can still some terminology be found here that i didn't bother figuring out its analogy or difference to what i am already familiar with.
Part of the attraction for me to zettelkasting is the cool language involved. This is a personal quirk. I easily fall for projects with exotic, magical, and often foreign names. As an example, I am currently studying and am fascinated with Kumiko and Dzogchen, each with its own language and terms.
I think I'm going to migrate to using the English terms for all this note-taking stuff. It will make residing on the plural forms of the terms easier. But way less cool.

My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time. kestrelcreek.com

Yes. But it is not dogma. I trust in the natural adoption of those terms. To be honest, I think Zettel will disapear and just note will do it.
I am a Zettler

As a reminder, the plural form for Zettelkasten is Zettelkästen. I've had this wrong, too.
Here's a very helpful discussion about using the term

"Zettels" works for me :>) I use the term to mean a note within my ZK, whereas other "notes" are outside my ZK. I probably won't change that usage.
