Woolly or Wooly bugger

Recommended Posts

So we had the poll on tyer/tier and now I keep seeing woolly/wooly bugger spelled differently. So how do you guys spell it? The dictionary says that both are right. I have always spelled it woolly, but I may very well be wrong.

I have always spelled it "wooly". I double checked with the high school literature teacher girlfriend. She agreed. I'm not gonna argue when she says I'm right. :)

My authority on all things spelling - Microsoft Word spellcheck - lists both spellings as correct. It even gives the same synonyms for both. So I guess both are correct. But having to pick one, I went with 'woolly' simply because the double 'l' looks better to my eye.
