Can someone please give me the word for the plastic tip on the end of a shoelace? Thanks, Anne

Welcome, AnneSchultz (your name resonates with mine! )...
Serendipitously enough, this word was used in a U.S. comic strip today, "Beetle Bailey." As barite said in another thread, it is indeed "aglet."

...and when your aglets get scrunched, the ends of your laces become feazings.
