To spell "minnie" as in small, you would need to use the correct spelling, which is "mini." The word "mini" is derived from the word "minimal" and means something that is small or smaller than usual. It can be used to describe objects, such as a mini car or a mini skirt, or to refer to a smaller version of something. For example, a mini fridge or a mini laptop. The spelling of "mini" does not include the extra 'n' or 'e' that is present in the incorrect spelling of "minnie." Therefore, to correctly spell the word that means small, use "mini" instead of "minnie.

After long journey, Alex Martins becomes Magic’s CEO
Alex Martins means it when he says he’s worked his way up through the sports business.
In his first job, he scooped Italian ice at Giants Stadium.
In his newest job, he’ll guide the Orlando Magic as their chief executive officer.
“I didn’t start on this path scooping Italian ice thinking that this is where I would end up,” Martins said. “But I’m grateful for the opportunity. I’m grateful for the people that I’ve worked for and worked with.”
Martins’ latest opportunity became official Wednesday, when the team held a press conference to announce major changes to its hierarchy. Martins moves into the CEO role after Bob Vander Weide stepped down from his twin responsibilities as CEO and vice chair.
Dan DeVos, the son of Owner Rich DeVos, will serve as the franchise’s chairman and as the primary conduit between the DeVos family and team officials.
“This organization is in great hands,” Vander Weide said.
Martins, 47, already served as a focal point in the Magic’s push to get Amway Center approved. And now that he’s CEO, he’ll play a role in making sure that the arena stays filled.
With Vander Weide’s departure, General Manager Otis Smith now will report directly to the Martins.
“I don’t know if Alex and I could work any closer together,” Smith said. “I’m not sure that’s possible. Prior to this move, we already share everything.”
Martins has had two separate tenures with the Magic.
He started with the expansion franchise in 1989 in his mid-20s as the team’s director of publicity and media relations. But he got the job only after Pat Williams had attempted to hire seven other people for the position and was turned down each time.
A basketball writer named Dick Weiss had recommended Martins to Williams.
“You could tell right away . . . that he was going to go way beyond the first mile,” Williams said.
“He’d stay late, until the last writer had left. He was absolutely a workhorse. But he had bigger aspirations.”
That work ethic, Martins said, game from his parents, Manuel and Dorothy Martins, who immigrated to the United States from Portugal. Manuel worked on a General Motors assembly line for 30 years, and Dorothy worked as a bank teller.
Martins left the Magic in 1998, and took jobs with the Cleveland Browns and the New Orleans Hornets before he and his wife, Juliet, moved back to Central Florida.
That’s when, he said, his career reached a critical turning point. As he worked in a consultant’s role with the Magic, he earned his MBA from UCF.
There was no guarantee he’d be hired to work again by the Magic, but the DeVos family paid for part of his tuition.
Martins was working for The Tavistock Group when Vander Weide asked him to have dinner one night in mid-2005. Vander Weide asked him to rejoin the team and oversee most of the team’s business operations.
There was no question he was going to say yes.
And, now, Martins said fans won’t see any change in the way the organization runs its business.
“I think our goal has never been so focused in this organization – ever-probably because our senior chairman [85-year-old Rich DeVos] is getting on in years, and I don’t mean that disrespectfully,” Martins said.
“There’s not one person in their family or in this organization that wants to win a championship more than to win it for him.”
