NATG 22 - A Pony Duelling

Published:

Description

"Dueling" has 8 million hits. "Duelling" has one million. As apropos as the search may be considering the words in question, "dueling vs duelling" does not yield a handy article that explains how one is used for American English and one for British as I had hoped, considering as how I try to be consistent about British English. The Wikipedia article on the subject (the act, not the word) somehow and hilariously uses both words.

I'm going to go with "duelling" presuming it's the British English word. I'm also doing it 'cause it looks nicer, and because I like supporting the underdog.

A little more on topic, here's Rainbow Dash ready to d-d-d-duel. I don't play any CCG's, but I watched Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged by LittleKuriboh way back when, and it was hilarious. Twice as hilarious was watching the actual series out of curiosity only to discover how ridiculously little he's had to change to satirise it all.

The picture itself is probably one of my least favourite entries for NATG yet, a rush job because I want to take Friday off. No comments needed on THAT.

Rushed or no, RD has an appropriately wicked little grin.

I just wrote a story with dueling in it, too, and I couldn't figure out which spelling to go with as both were showing up correct on my spell checkers. I don't actually remember which spelling I went with.
