@-sche It is infinitely suspicious that this large entry, with 12 (!!) senses, has almost no instances of the purported "dustie", but only the plural "dusties". I am fairly sure that in most senses the singular should be dusty with a y. For example (milling sense) we have dusty miller. I think this entry really needs some attention, to find out whether a single "dustie" exists in all these 12 senses. Equinox 01:36, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good point. I must've seen dustie somewhere and it slipped my mind that plural hits might not be plurals of only that, but more likely the form with -y, as you say. - -sche (discuss) 05:40, 27 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
 Done Thanks. (I found another sense too, for old bottles of spirits.) Equinox 20:16, 3 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
