dunefreak Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It would be duning. However, it isn't really an official word. It's kind of a slang term so there would be no real definition. By basic grammar rules, it would be duning though. You never follow an "e" with an "ing" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Hmmm- like ageing or dieing or seeing? LOL You've been around those non-english speaking people too long. Actually aging is spelled both ways (ageing and aging) but is most commonly spelled aging in America at least. lol http://www.grammarist.com/spelling/ageing-aging/ Both aging and ageing are legitimate gerunds and present participles corresponding to the verb age. American and Canadian writers and editors prefer aging by a wide margin, while ageing is the preferred spelling in British and Australian English. Dieing is spelled dying. And seeing is a no brainer. You wouldn't drop the last e in that because it's a double e and part of the word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FE135 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I would go with duning. It is just like the word riding or tuning. And, I have seen "duning" in magazines, so that at least gives "duning" some credibility. It just looks weird though, like your saying dunning. Plus, the spell checker always highlights it which doesn't help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandBox_Kid Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 According to an urban dictionary site...there is a big difference between duning and duneing: http://www.urbandict...php?term=duning or http://www.urbandict...hp?term=duneing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
