All-Star Flyer Vs Flier

[cheeringfor3]

I agree with the logic behind flyer for cheer, but flier for a paper.

BUT...it is "tinies", not tiny's. A plural can't have an apostrophe.

You could say, however the "tiny's uniform", because in that case you are making it possessive. But if you are referring to more than one tiny cheerleader, they are tinies, no matter how funny it might look.

I like tinys, no apostrophe

And flyer ASIs the consensus. Is there anyway for us to formally establish that FLYER is the proper spelling for the top girl in a cheerleading stunt?

I'm completely obsessed with grammar and English is my favorite/best subject but I still think 'flyer' looks the best. Same with Tiny's.

This is what the summer does to the Fierce Board.

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

Haha nothing in cheer is logical. Example: hey go throw that girl up in the air about 20 or 30 feet and stand underneath her and catch her. Make sure she lands pretty mkay?

personally i perfer flyer .. flier is the correct form of the word but flyer looks better but is more used with cheerleaders... its unique, like our sport

Change the Y to an I and add ER.

happy -> happier
merry -> merrier
dry -> drier (i am drier than you)

but things that break the rules would be:
gay -> gayer
play -> player
gray -> grayer

If there is a vowel before the Y, then you keep the Y and add ER

My point is that there are too many exceptions to this particular rule.

For example, and for hilarity, when making plurals you usually add "s" or "es"....so for the word TEST, make it plural both ways and you get two different words

Flyer just sounds much better. Plus, on t-shirts and stuff it says "flyer" not "flier"

 

[annauk]

I HATE apostrophes being mis-used!! It's tinies, not tiny's! (hurts me to type it!! )

And I go with flyer.

 

[Mamarazzi]

Flyers, Tinys, Minis. No apostrophe, unless possessive, as @cheeringfor3 said.

 

[ipaysheflies]

I prefer the y too.... who wants to correct my user name for me?

I prefer the y too.... who wants to correct my user name for me?

I don't know if i would say a FLYER FLYS. That just looks wrong (and is wrong). a FLYER FLIES in the air

 

[ShutItDown]
