D friends,
Yep, off topic for sure, but this is the best ng that I know of to get
quick answers :-)
May I please have your suggestions for the next English word that comes
semantically/mathematically in sequence. Ideally the word ends in "ty"
and the semantic sequence is obviously to do with the predecessor
(cardinality-wise) of "Singularity".
Plurality, Singularity, ..
...naughty? :)
But seriously, how about nullity? Or perhaps triviality?

Being 10pm in my neck of the woods, and being a late night
meal-time eater, I was just having a mouthful of my wife's
stupendous ham and bacon pea soup when I read your reply
and splat in laughter about your suggestion of "naughty".
As I write this reply, I am still picking out the remnants
of split pea husks from my keyboard. :-(
This is quite serious; my keyboard may now might need replacing.
To be more serious, I just happened across the word "nihility"
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=nihility
but I don't think "nihility" really means "none-of-ity"
rather than it means more about the absence of anything
including a "zerality" of things.
Hey, maybe "zerality" should be coined as a new English word?
