In all our posts, can we please all take a little care to distinguish the noun tznius from the adjective tzniusdik?
This has been a public service announcement. You're welcome.
We now return you to your regular programming.

Thanks, a pet peeve of mine as well.
Or you can use tzanua or tznuah as an adjective.

Thanks, Penguin.
I went to a more "Tzioni" school than did my brothers, so I grew up learning "Ivrit b'Ivrit" the whole school day, then coming home to European-born parents (VERY Ashkenazic Hebrew, more often Yiddish), and brothers who attended a more traditional school (sov versus tav), who spoke with a far less pronounced "shyner poonim". End result: I'm very adaptable, but I have noticed among most frum crowds that the Yiddish version of any Hebrew-sourced word is the norm around here.
I'll take tz'nua' or tz'nu'ah, but I think "tzniyusdik" will still be around.
Regards,

I'd start with halachic accuracy. Once the people who make the bumper stickers promising that "modest girls prevent accidents" have stopped, the handbooks are reprinted to distinguish between required and suggested, and the modesty fetishists find another planet to live on, we can correct people's grammar
