The End wasn't The End - Found a new home after the great exodus of 2012

@mbeeston  
Actually, if you look at the etymology, “genie” is a modern spelling of the old Roman “genii” for an attendant or guardian spirit, which became conflated with the powerful wish granting Arabic “Jinni” in the 16th century via French by an accident of pronunciation. It was only centuries later that we began to associate divine spirits (in the Roman sense) with talented individuals (in the smart sense) when English speakers began conflating “genius” with “ingenium” (a related Latin noun referring to innate dispositions/talents and inborn nature), and “genius” picked up it’s modern association with IQ.
 
Anyway, “genius” is the Latin singular of “genie”, and to a non-native speaker, the distinction is easy to miss, due to the historical confusion and the similarity in spelling and pronunciation. :)
