A quick definition of tithe:

Tithe: A tenth of one's income that is given as a religious or charitable gift or obligation. In the past, it was also a small tax or assessment of one-tenth. Tithes could be paid in different forms, such as crops, natural products, or profits from manual occupations or trades. The right to tithes was often held by a rector or a monastery, but it could also pass into lay hands.

A more thorough explanation:

A tithe is a religious or charitable gift or obligation that involves giving a tenth of one's income. It can also refer to a small tax or assessment, usually in the amount of one-tenth.

For example, in some religions, it is customary to give a tithe to the church or other religious organization. This means that if someone earns $100, they would give $10 as a tithe. In the past, tithes were also used as a way to support the church or other organizations, and people would give a tenth of their crops or other goods as a tithe.

There are different types of tithes, such as:

  • Great tithe: A tithe paid in kind, such as crops, hay, or wood, and considered more valuable than other tithes.
  • Mixed tithe: A tithe consisting of a natural product, such as milk or wool, obtained or cultivated by human effort.
  • Personal tithe: A tithe of profits from manual occupations or trades.
  • Predial tithe: A tithe of crops, such as corn.
  • Vicarial tithe: A small tithe payable to a vicar.

These examples illustrate how tithes can take different forms and be used for different purposes, but they all involve giving a tenth of one's income or goods as a religious or charitable obligation.

I have not had a date change either for Mich but I've seen people get in without one so who knows

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

Ahh, got it. Thank you for the insight!

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
