why shood it matter, its all the same in the end, it sounds the same not matter how u spell it. it's just letters
Great rule!! More people should live by that rule. Stay happy hippies. Every little hippy boy and girl..... Actually I don't care. I usually say one hippie, but hippy-happy is a good rule...
I spell it "hippie." But I don't mind other people using a Y in place of the I and E. Same definition, right? Besides, Hippy becomes Hippies when plural, unless you'd prefer to pull a Jimi and add an S like he did with the Band of Gypsys[Gypsies]. They're just words, man. Words make sentences, sentences make paragraphs, paragraphs making speeches, and speeches change things.
I prefer hippie, but I won't spaz out on you for spelling it the other way. I'm a grammar Nazi and a self-professed walking dictionary--I twitch anytime someone spells a word wrong, but I won't get on your ass for it. There's more important things in life to worry about.
