| Aug 26, 2023 at 21:28 | comment | added | Anton Sherwood | I have seen vying and stymying. Dunno why we can't have eying. | |

| May 23, 2017 at 16:49 | comment | added | htmlcoderexe | The fact that so much had to be written to adequately explain the answer shows how "consistent" English spelling is. | |
| May 23, 2017 at 2:14 | comment | added | Michael Hardy | I think both "judgment" and "judgement" occur in the USA and the former is considered the more standard form. I don't recall ever having seen "judgeing". | |

| May 22, 2017 at 17:34 | comment | added | GEdgar | I remember seeing a difference (UK/US?) with judgment and judgement ... so can you have judging and judgeing also? My spell-checker says no to judgeing.. | |

| May 22, 2017 at 15:17 | comment | added | herisson | @Casey: Yes; in AmE, these verbs do not end in "e" in the lemma form, so the rule mentioned in the OP would not be applicable. | |
| May 22, 2017 at 14:36 | comment | added | Casey | I think you are very unlikely to encounter anything other than "maneuvering" and "centering" in AmE, with the "E" being pronounced. | |
| May 22, 2017 at 10:06 | comment | added | Muzer | It's definitely archaic if ever used at all, but for some reason the rail industry in the UK uses "routeing" as the official spelling of eg "The Routeing Guide". I've very rarely seen this spelling outside this industry. | |

| May 22, 2017 at 1:52 | comment | added | alephzero | Re "toeing", note that "toing" is a different word, at least in British English - used in the phrase "toing and froing" meaning "going or moving to and fro". Also, it modern English it's "vying", not "vieing". | |

| May 21, 2017 at 20:17 | comment | added | herisson | @Clare: interesting. It doesn't seem to be in any online dictionaries though so I think it would be considered non-standard. | |
| May 21, 2017 at 20:15 | comment | added | Arm the good guys in America | Engageing also has usage, perhaps on analogy with ageing. | |
