Hi everyone I'm in Australia and want to clarify with some Americans about the spelling of "veggie/vegie". Here we would use the word "vegie", but I've noticed Americans using the double g. What do Americans most commonly use: vegie or veggie? Many thanks Gavin Atkinson I really would have to be 'Vegie' as a double 'g' would be pronounced with a soft g sound as in 'begging' or 'leggings', not a hard g as in vegetable. simple rules of English |

I just arrived here after someone played vegie on word with friends.
I too enjoyed reading the evolution of this discussion. As to the correctness of spelling, it seems either is acceptable. As someone in the US, I would certainly never use "vegie" for any purpose other than to annoy and incite friends in word games. |
