Which spelling is better, queueing or queuing? Both words seem to mean the same, but there are two different spellings. My context is:
Queueing Latency
versus
Queuing Latency
If both spellings are applicable, when do I use which one of them?

9The shorter spelling has rapidly taken the ascendancy in recent decades, and I don't think this is particularly a US or UK thing, so I'd advise going with it if you want to seem more up-to-date.– FumbleFingersMar 12, 2012 at 13:13

40You have to use Queueing as it is the word with the longest consecutive use of vowels.– user52278Sep 17, 2013 at 23:38

3At MIT, I was taught that the MIT spelling is "queueing"---after all who can resist a word with five vowels in a row.– user85929Jul 23, 2014 at 2:09

Both occur and there's no difference in meaning.

Just in case if anyone is wondering which one is more popular: (Queuing!)

1ty for your work (i've +1-ed it), any idea if we could expand the end date? for me it seems to display 2008.– p1100iAug 5, 2018 at 6:36
