All-Star Flyer Vs Flier

[imrichhowboutu]

So i've noticed myself using both Flyer and Flier when typing the word. I think Flier is the correct version based on grammar, but Flyer looks much better.

Decisions, decisions.

Just add a comment.

I tend to use "flyer" when referring to cheerleading. "Flier" reminds me of the piece of paper used for distributing advertising. But I suppose both could be appropriate.

I always use "flyer" in cheerleading terms, but use "flier" when referring to like, a flier was put on my car advertising a car wash service or something like that. But actually think both words are interchangeable for both meanings haha. That is just MY preference.

 

[redsmom]

I like "flyer" better even though they seem to be used interchangeably.

 

[marissa.d]

i definitely like Flyer, like everyone else was saying, flier reminds me of an advertisement or something

 

[TheVipersMom]

The times on here when I typed flyer I honestly was like hmmm I think flier looks wrong even though I believed it was technically right so I just used flyer like most everyone else.

Also I had this debate with someone over tiny's or tinies when referring to that division. I believe the 's is wrong but the other word looks stupid!

Haha English was never my favorite subject it was definitely math!

Flier reminds me of Friar and just looks goofy. I've always used flyer- personal preference for how pretty the y looks.

The Y is important! FLY-ing vs flie-ing? No. Give me the Y

That's not exactly sound logic, but I'll give it to you

i can see her point a little because they "fly" in the air so maybe that's why the "y" is supposed stay in the spelling. either way i spell it flyer.

 

[MissBee]

Grammatically, it should be flier. But, I always use flyer when talking about cheerleading.

 

[cheerinfo]

When I google it...it actually shows both spellings to be correct and interchangeable basically. But anyway, yeah, I just like flyer better for cheer and flier better for a leaflet or whatever.
