RicW 67 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Well chaps I finally got fed up with all the spellings. First thing I have to do is put my hand up and say "Yes yer Honour I got it wrong." The 1998 edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary gives the spelling as "ricochet". It goes on to give the verb forms as EITHER "ricocheting, ricocheted" OR ricochetting, ricochetted". Naff all to do with hunting but I like to get my terminology correct. One C two Ts.

Ric If we're insisting on getting things correct shouldn't it be two C's? Just asking like... Quote Link to post

RicW 67 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 Treacle - no, that's the mistake I've made in the past. One "C", and you can use one or two "T"s. John - Ric Quote Link to post
