Dieing Ohias do not seem to meet definition of ROD
#5
I think probably not.
Dye is coloring.
Die is end of life.
Dieing did not end up underlined in red, neither in the first case or in this one, the second case.
Dieing is the correct term for the subject.

EDIT:
Just to be sure, I went to check it out.

Dieing has to do with dies as in tool and die.
Dying without the "e" is the correct term.
My apologies.
I will remember in the future.

But, I did find this:
... there are early examples of the spelling dieing for dying in the 1800s. This leads to the thought that the currently accepted form is because of a spelling reform at some point in time since then.

But then, many of the changes in British to Americanese English are due to spelling reforms.

Languages, spoken and written are in constant evolution, words change meaning, are changed in spelling and pronunciation. That's how dialects and new languages come to be. You can only slow it down. You'll never stop it from happening.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
